For the State Chronicle
No s.Milk and Cider DilutiOn.

One of the characteristics of the average
North Carolinian is his admiration of
pluck, of decision, of backbone. Espec-

of the people. WI, never any question is
sprung, there is no question as t. t.le posi-
ton Of the CHRONICLE. 1t has the manli

And thus it should be. The people like
it. Long may you wave
Thank you, kind reader, if such course
wins, we shall continue TO wave.
