AUGUSTA!-MORE CHANGES!
"E,ow III. trumpet, heat the drum,
The cry is s;lil they come-they come"
During recent visit 10 Augusta we met with
a number of individuals who have come ont from
the Federal party. and now 60 jealousy for Polk
and Dallas. Amongst the Number we will mei-
ton AIes>r> Adam Kurz, Eli Parent and Gcorce
Brosius of Stanton and vicinity Cornelius ID.
Maupn OF the ncighborhood Of Mint Spring,
and Jacob Tcaioni, of the vicinity of Mt Scion.
They were all Harrison men in 1910 they are all
Polk and Dallas men now. These gentlemen had
never. We believe, co-operated with the FedcraiiSts
before 10, and they say if they are forgiven for
that offence they will mol he found there again.
They are men who move iii the humble walks Of
life; three of them farmers and Two mechanics:
they are not speaking men, bat ftcg al rotc. and
their votes QhankS 10 the genius OF our democrat
ic republican in,;.ulionsD will count as much as
the votes of any other FIVE gentlemen any where
Most happy are we to receive these gentlemen
into our ranks.

tencn above (Nlr. ParenD 10 say, that although
he voted for General Harrison, he never was
;'ederaist. He is m old man and was Z Wing
in The DAYS Of the Revolutions but he wishes II TO
ne known. that he is not one OF the new-tashion-
al Wings. He says there Is marked difference
between the Wings OF the Revolution and the
Wings Of these last days.
C;lvlxG rr THEIR ARMs. The Wings OF Au.
gusta are already beginning 10 surrender their
arms To the victorious Democracy OF Rocking
ham Their arms are mol OF much account il is
true. but they were s;rons enough 10 secure their
success in 1910 The trophies Of the campaign
thus far are beautiful slEd-pa2ered, long

tons Of war have been welcomed 10 our ranks
and their arms consecraled 10 better uses Than
when they were in The service OF Coonery.
