Wings to your Post
We cannot too strongly urge upon the Wins

the State Convention to be held at jackson
on the first Monday in February Eext. Let

and happy. Innovation after innovation have
beenmade upon your rights-insult upon insult
have followed your calamties, until the skeleton
of cur former greatness alone marks this once

onward progress, now broods gloom, dssats.
