The Conservative Mass Meeting at

PRINCE GEORGE G. H.,


September IL, 1878. !
To the Editor Of The State Journal
After any amount Of advertising for a
mass meeting of Conservatives, to be held
at Prince George G. H., yesterday, a
meagre crowd gathered to hear the great
guns of the party, the regularly appointed
canvassers, Messrs. Lawyer Gregory, Of
Petersburg, and DR.. Rives, of Prince
George. In fact, by some mysterious
means, a much smaller crowd than ordina-
rly attends our court were present.
Mr.. M. B. Tapley, of Petersburg, was
present and asked to divide time with the
Conservative speakers, but after delibera-
ton he was refused, and then they took a
mean advantage of their own refusal to
abuse Mr.. Tapley and the Republican
party. Mr.. T. made an appointment for q
meeting on the next court day, and chal.
lenged any one present or any one else to
meet him. PRINCE GEORGE.

$50 Boss. Mr.. Jones, one evening in fly
tine having been pro7okiugly dashed 10 the
face, tied the tail Of the COW he was milking
very securely to his boot strap. Everythlng
went on smoothly for time, aud MIR. Jones
congratulated himself on the s,ratagem. How
ever. the COW took notion to lash fly that
was biting her. MIR. Jones chucked some IN
when he tel, the pull at his boot strap; but the
chuckliug was cut short, tor bossle, noulng
that She could not touch her tormeotors, sud
denly started, and as MIR: Jones was not pre-
nared for such demonstration, he was upset,
and the contents of the pail distributed over
his person. The COW stopped moment and
in tia, time our hero gained his feet; 10 an In
i hp Of s the cow making the tour OF the farm
yard with prodigious hops on Que foot; At
every hop he would circulate, so, Boss &c.
Bossr' but Boss" didn't so worth dime,
Al last the boot attachment gave way, and
Mr.. Jones returned to the house wiser If not
a sadder man.
