tic many respectable gentlemen whose names
were announced at our last February Court
day as candidates 10 represent the county OF
Mecklenburg in the next Legislature OF Viz
GINA, we take this method to direct the atten
ton Il the people Of the county Of Mecklenburg
to the name Of Colonel John +. Finch OF Chris
Evansville, as a suitable person 10 represent the
county in the next Legislature. Colonel Finch
has, for more than a quarter oil a century, been
an inhabitant of The county. HIS interest IS
identified with that of the people of The county.
He is a man Of experience, observation and bu-
siness habits, and would discharge every duty
appertaining 10 a faithful representative. He
has labored effectively for the Democratic
party. These labors have been freely, fearless
ly and jealousy given, because he deemed the
cause Of his parry 10 be that Of his country
For these he never expected or sought reward.
But the Democrats Of the county would per
form an act of simple justice 10 him and the
Christiansyille precinct by electing him TO a
seal in The next House OF Delegates.
