Every vote cast which is not for the ticket,
weakens the ties of the party, encourages
independents, and tends to destroy the
voice of the majority, and ensures factions
wlthil the party.
Cotton continues to pour into our town
from every direction, and our merchants
continue to pay the very highest price for
it, in consequence of which they are Kept
busy day and night.

We regret to record the death of Mrs.
David Simmons, wife of Rev. David Sim
mons, who died after an illness of several
weeks in Lynden, Cass County, Texas, on

The bereaved ones, in their far-off home,
have the sympathies of large circle of

William R. Parker, the Radical leader in
this County, in q speech at Townville on
last Friday, advised the coiored people to
vote for any man who would run as an in
dependent in this County, because he said
that was the best way to break up the party.
In this he told the truth, and our people
should remember it. Any person who
runs as an independent now is really
Radical, though he may pretend to be a
Democrat. If possible, he is worse than
Radical, because he has desire to assist
them to break up the Democratic party,
and st the same time pretends to be Dem
ocrat, in order to deceive enough Democrats
into voting for them to elect, when COM
bined with the Radical vote, which they
are sure to get solidly. Our people should
remember this, and vote the Democratic
ticket solidly. not only to secure victory
row, but to deter independents in 1880.
Nothing but full acceptance of the Demo-
cratic nominations will continue the party
in power, and assure its future ascendancy.
Let there be no disafection on next Tuesday.
Remember that indifference often leads to
defeat. Do not forget Tuesday next!
