a number of our planters would be

Mayor from issuing a warrant upon
the Town Treasurer unless there be
money in the treasury for the pay

quarter of a century, according to the
opinions of planters and laborers. The
stubble cane is making splendid
showing, which is certainly a cheer
full indication. There is not at this

between the planters and laborers in
regard to wages, and the latter have
gone willingly to work, assured that

employers will give them larger COM

The character which this magazine pos
sesses for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth,
