But NJ. seems torecommend the
old proverb-"Fight the Devil

motto a good one. Fire is the
proper element Of the Devil. We
think it better to fight him with
the powers of Truth. We believe
the Devil to be the Father of

weapon of warfare. Therefore,
we do not choose to fight him

conveniently situated, and, at least
partly improved, and in small lots,
of 100 70 200 acres. They would
be pleased to receive circulars
descriptive of lands in Tennessee,
Georgia, North Carolina and Flor
ida, including prices, etc. Be kind
enough to acquaint me, if not too
much trouble, with the address of
the leading men in the States
above mentioned. Would also be
pleased to receive any printed list
that you may have, designed for
circulation, referring to property for
sale South.
Yors respectfully, etc.,
