end, MordIcai, their chief, through
his scribe, Little Samuel, issued ar
e6ict commanding all the brethren
to meet him in general conclave il
the town cal ed Dobson, on the
11th day oS bhe 9Th tEsonth> being

land of Lredell, (the same being 6
defunct Jndge, and one who aspires
to represent all the people OF tn.
district called "Congressional," in
the counsels Of the nation called
"UncLe Sssra., ~ and DR.. James e..
the saafe being a mouth piece fol
James Abram, who dwells in the
plains of the far off west, and
would be ruler of all the land OF
"Uncle Sam" And when the It'll,
day of said month had ec4nc, in the
early morn of the sane day, !
locked and beheld John l. W.,
(whose reccpticle for the good
things of lite, brass fit compari-
son to that of the gray browed
Connastoga, upon which he sat-
and l looked again and bcheld
John nj. b., of Greenback notsrie-

people of the land, to-wit: Reve'

and beheld chariot drawn by two
animals made of the flesh of horses,

Ham, seven in number, they hail
from the town called Mount Airy,
nigh unto the River Ararat, and ii
was so. And | looked again tho
fourth time, and 10! David NJ and
James g., and | beleld also John
L. w. in the midst of the street
shaking the hands of the sons of
liam. And when all the brethren
ad assembled at the honse of one
Lacy, we, of the Democrat faith,
saw that there was confusion among
the brethren, (Radicals) and there
was reason for the confusion.
Now it came to pass that on the
first day Of the seli-samc week, to-
wit on the 9th day of month, Sep-
tenn | Ler, the people, called Demo-
Gratis, in all the land of Surry from
every nocE and corner, in vast
numbers, assembled in the Temple
called the Temple of Justice, and
sent forth messengers unto the peo>
Pile to speak to them and bear them
glad tidings of great joy. And
when the laborers of the assembly
of Democrats was ended Jphn M.
b., who in the Temple, arose and
said unto the people there assembl-
ed; Friends, l am al independent
candidate for seat in the upper
branch of the State Assembly,
which congregates at the city called
Raleigh on the first Monday of the
first month in the year OF our Lord
1881" Now this news had spread
all over the land, and it muchly
fired mp the stalwarts and hence
the confession among the brethren
Now it came to pass that Little
Samuel and Little Samucl's broth

the Yadkin, and Robert 9. p, ot
the Elkin country, thought thai
John NJ. BIS record was not good
that when candidate against r
+. A, two years agone he used
.cuss-words" against the stalwarts
and Democrats, and these brethren
sought to chastise John M. b. tol
his imprudence and for his impu-
dencc, but the brethren advised
harmony. But ye stalwarts sale
nay verify, John l.. w. must run
he can get many votes from the
enemy, the Democrats, he can foo
them, he is sneaking in his Radi-
caiism, but we know he's strong ir
the faith. And when the hour foI
dining had come, all the brethren
partook OF the good things at the
house of Lacy, bnt because of tho
confusion the brethren did not as
semble in the Temple till nigh unto
the hour of 2 p. m, and when Lit
tic Samuel had ratified the bell O
the Temple twice all the brethren
gathered themselves together there
in aud when order was proclaimed
