The time for wearing the red shirt is again
near at hand. Those who have them LETT
over from last campaign had better get
them down. and those who have not should
procure one without delay. We will have
opposition this time, and nothing short OF
the spirit of '7e will save our State from the
desperate clutches of Radicalism. Red
shirts redeemed the State in 1876-they can
and will hold that redemption in 1880.

over to Hartwell on Tuesday with the e1-
pectation of hearing speeches from Alex.
Stephens, Ben Hill and Bob Toombs, but
they were disappointed, as neither OF those
gentlemen were there. A large number OF
delegates arrived at Hartwell on the morn
ing of Tuesday, and were assigned to homes
among the citizens. The meeting promised
to be one of considerable interest, especially
to agriculturists.
David Marcus, o 2.year-old son of Mr..
Samuel E. and Mrs. Mamie Craig, of this
place, died on Friday last OF diphtheria.
Profoundly trying to aa..ser's and mothers
feelings was the scene of his early conflict

rior to grief, and faith commits the little
one into the best of hands. The remains

of a large number of relatives and friends.

and that last Christmas there was only one
young man drunk in the town during the
holidays"
The Walhalla Courier of last week con-
tains an able editorial OIL the Homestead
Law, in which it is justly claimed that the
Republicans, who framed the Constitution

exempt under said law from sale for debt.
The decision was made by Democratic
