Henderson and Ross can say to theil

said to Cassius:
There is no terror in your threats
For am armed SO strong in honesty
That they pass by me as the idle wind
Which i respect nOt.'
If any of our readers still had doubts
about lola being the best trading place
in the county, they must be dispelled
after examining this paper. All ex-
perience proves that merchants who
advertise most literally are the ones
that give the most for the money.
Yin order that the REGISTER may
have plenty of time to give thanks
for the manifold blessings that have
attended it the past year, next week
paper will be issued one day earlier
than usual. Correspondents and ad-
vertisers will please take notice and
govern themselves accordingly.
Mrs. Simpsons has always been

will remain so this year as usual. She
has received her fall stock and now Of

Such unwarranted and outrageous at
lacks upon honorable reputable men
as were made last week by the COur-
Ross, Duffy and other prominent re-

with none who do not give them cred

and who are not unsparing in their
condemnation of the brutal and uncall-

Democrat and Courant.

the following:
