stout weighing about 1862 lbs; the daughter of
William Frizzle; her mother, Cox was born
and raised in the same neighborhood with the
" Family and having always been Democrat,
knows them like book. She was of poor, and
honest parents, of but limited education, as free
schools were not in operation in her young days,
il woman of great deal of plain, good sense,
as honest as the day is long. She is prudent
and economical and is remarkable for decision
and firmness, being perfect bull terrier in dis
position. When she takes hold, she never let's
go. She is farmer, and makes everybody
around her know who's who, and what's what.
| In other words she g bosses the shanty, and
says that she fights fire with fire, and that when

There are great many of the Family follow

; the 9th Of November.
, The simple and only question before the pee
pie is, shall Polly McNatt, who is in favor O
retrenchment and REFORM and has never he'll
Office govern this State in the interests of tn
people, or shall Cove Salisbury, who has goyerne
