Mrs. Ida Bonner is improving.

vannah, Ga, 10th June.
We read with interest Senator But
ler's able speeches on the admission OF

We omitted to mention last week
Rev. w. F. Pearson's interesting and
touching sermon. in the Baptist church.

Mr.. Blake writes an interesting let.
Ter to the Press and Banner. He and
the Editor shows how elegantly gen.
tlemen can express their differences in
print without offence.

best upland corn we have seen, He
has nice crop of cotton and corn both;
We notice that "the war horse" OF
our Due West Democracy, Prof. Young
is announced in the Press aud Banner
for the House. Mr.. Young should
command the solid support of the peo-
pie. No truer man lives in this coun-
ty. He is answering in what he be-
lieves to be his duty.
The farmers about here are consider
ably exercised over the action of the
last State Convention. One of them
will give 500 for Tillman to stump the
State for Governor, another will give
$50, another $40. They have said this
publicly and in earnest. Mr.. J. +.
Todd is outspoken in his denunciation
of the last State Convention.
The Democratic Club of Due West
will meet next Saturday evening in
Erskine Chapel at, O'Clock. The
Farmers CLUB will meet at same time
and place. Important matters will
come before both clubs and full turn
out is requested. -,
The Press and Banner is solid on
Catholic immigration. Talk about
christianizing them. Look at New
York and California, where the Bible
is banished from the people. They are
in the majority there. We want no
Catholic immigration in ours. st. Bar
tholomew massacre rises too vivldly.
The advice of the Editor of the Press
and Bossaer to young people Is good
Now we will turn the blade on the
Editor, himself. "Go in the way that
our fathers trod."
DIR. J. o. Lindsay gives the readers OF
the Press and Bdnne, a good letter
