MARTIN TOWNSHIP DEMOCRATIC CT UB

The Club met at Clinkscales' Mill on Sat-
urday evening, August 10Th, and was called
to order by vice-President Robert Parker
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resoiped That we accept the invitation to
unite with the other Clubs of this County in
Democratic mass meeting in September.
Resolued, That we heartily endorse the
action of the State Convention in nominal
ing straight-out Democrats for State officers
Resolved That we hereby ratify said NOM
nations, and pledge ourselves to support
the same.
The Club is in lively condition, and the
members are energetic and determined in
their efforts to secure Dem ocratic victory.
Four new names were enrolled, which re-
duces the number of those who do not favor
the organization to nearly zero, and leaves it
in sad minority.
The Club decided to make no nominations
for COUNTY officers until the primary elec-
ton, except for Trial Justice and for this
Office the name of Geo. NJ. McDavid was
suggested. The Club then adjourned to
meet the fourth Saturday in September.
ROB'T PARKER, President pro tcnl.

Old Age is Honorable.

This is true, but how few of us like to
look old. Age, with its grey hairs, is never
welcome, and the various arts have been
brought into requisition to hide its ravages.
In too many instances agents are used for
that purpose which inflict serious injury on
the constitution. Especially is this the case
with large majority of the 'HairgsDyes of
.the;presentl day. For an elegant ;prepara-
ton that willimpart a.perfectly natural col
or, without doing the least harm to the
hair or health we recommend that made
by DR.. Tutt, of New York. 1t possesses
qualities that no other Hair Dye does, and
as its analysis proves is as innocent as
mountain spring water.

ATTENTION
COTTON I PLANTERS


r DESIRE to call your attention to the
Il new and wonderful improvement in
Cotton Gins, which consists in Revolving
Heads in the ends Of the cotton-box, where
by the friction Of the cotton running.
against the ends of the cotton-box is de-,
stroyed. This improvement prevents the
choking of the Gin or breaking the roll, and
any common plantation hand can feed it,
1t does not injure the staple, and gins the
seed much cleaner than the. ordinary gins,
thereby saving the planter all of his lint
cotton. For speed in ginning. do not be-
lieve it can be excelled. As to sample, it
will compare favorably with any other. This
is the 46th year Of the Daniel Pratt Gin Bus-
iness and during that time, have made over
10000 gins. In Alabama, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Louisiana and, Texas. they are al
most universally useds by ;the planters, to
their entire satisfaction, and the same tri-
umph is predicted for this State, Cali on
inc and see this Gin before buying elsewhere,
and am satisfied that when you see it; you
will be convinced that the Pratt Gin will do
you good. -

The accnser has held very promi.

sqnarely and declares that Il the Re.
publican denies it he will prove it by
testimony clear and overwhelming.
We do not sec how Mr.. Packard or
his orga MS can ignore this charge. If

themselves separate and independent

lessen our chances for success.
The Committee IL working con.
