We CALL attention to the advertisement
of John G. Freeze, which appears in our
paper to day. We have looked over Col.
Freezes stock of stationery, &C., and found
there n select assortment of what is most
needed, at very moderate prices; and we
most heartily recommend our friends to
give him a call.
The most important feature in his new
business arrangement, is the facility atfor-
ded to our friends Of procuring Democratic
books, documents, speeches, &C., the Ma
tional and State Constitutions, in various
styles and at prices to suit. 1t is the only
place in the county where they can be OBJ
tanned.
It must be remembered that the contest
just closed, is only the opening skirmish
of the grand battle to come off next No
vember, 1864. A President of the United
States is then to be elected ; and the peo'
pie should now begin 10 book themselves
up, in view Of the greas interests at stake
20 be then settled. Col. Freeze knows
what is needed, he has it on hand ; and
is prepared to supply any thing in market
on shcrt notice, at the lowest terms.
