slavery had hung like a pail for 2t3 years over
the land, spreading CarknrsS and gloom over
Columtia's otherwise happy land, but 1t has
been arrested in its onward march to empire.
JtIi DAVIS, Stephens x Co., had laid !he fUun-

lodge in Manchester, which fourishrd until

abundant fruit. In 1914 We first hear Of q grand
