''Thy sweet face my STAR" the latest song
by Danks, and eminently his best effort,
striking pleasing melody, combined with
sensible and beautiful poetry. "Tilden and
Hendricks Grand Centennial March" by
Goerdler, is another composition of more
than ordinary merit; will be as popular as
our reform candidates are, and will be accep-
teddy, we hope, as large a majority. Price
of song, 40 cents; march, IS cents. Can be
had of any of our music dealers, or will be
sent by mail on receipt of price, by S. 7.

We received call on Wednesday morn
ing from Thomas Holt, a colored man from
Greenville, who is out canvassing for Hamp-
ton and his ticket. He has the recommen-
dation of leading citizens of Greenville, and
therefore deserves the encouragement OF our
people. He will speak in the Court House
on next Friday evening at y o'clock, and
we hope all the colored people of the town
will be present to hear him. The Demo-
Gratis will be glad to have any Republican
speakers who desire to divide time accom-
modated on this occasion if they will make
known such desire.
