If democrats will do what they ought
TO do, which is nothing more than their
duty, this county will give Phil Thomp-
son a majority in next month. What do
you say, boys? Shall we show that there's
some life left in US?

the Knoxville Branch will be extended
from London to Williamsburg at once. On
the K. G. telephone line from Richmond

build an immense trunk line 346 miles

Hons P. Thompson, Jr., and r. L.
Ewell, candidates for Congress, spoke at
Proctor's store in this county on Wednes
day, to fair crowd, composed mostly Of
democrats. Mr. Thompson's remarks were
addressed mainly to the question Of taxa
ton, and especially the ubiquitous tariff,
which is the pet Of the republicans, and his
arguments were conclusive. Mr. Ewell
made very favorable impression, altho'
advocating a bad cause, and in the conrse
Of his remarks, acknowledged that he was
in favor Of tariff reform. He made no
votes, however, and it ia safe to say that
"Little Phil" will get 100 majority in the
Glades. The same gentlemen spoke here
yesterday.
