Truth and History.

The negro was neither bulldOzcd
nor suppressed from 1865 to 1875, and
for ten years he swarmed in Southern
legislatures, Southern postoffices,
Southern city councils and other
places of honor and-pelf. What was
the result? Bankrupt treasures, con-
fiscating tax rates, social degradation,
blight and hopelessness on every
hand. But, finally goaded to desper-
alton, the Anglo Saxon blood of the
South asserted itself, and what has
followed -? Low taxes, solvency,
progress, prosperity and general
hopefulness.
When the Republican party can
make the earth to stand still, turn the

On the approach of the November

Gratis that timely action is a thing Of
importance. Do with your might
what your heads and hands find to
do. and what ever that may he, do it
in time. The eleventh hour il bad
time for doing anything well, being u

fusion.
In the first place, every Democrat
should register in due time and before
the books are closed, and all changes
should be made without waiting until
the day of election, when it is too
late. Young men, new arrivals and
the lately naturalized are apt to be
careless about registering, if not ig-

consolidating its strength, and will
combine nearly the entire bagging
manufacturing interest of the United

that will better control the market

financially every year as during last

being conducted in an orderly and
pcaccable way, not drunken man in
sight, and every one seemed pleased
with the new order of things. Active
preparations are going ahead for the

and it will no doubt prove Il grand
success and be well worth attending,
for when our Summit neighbOrs I'M

of the Summit Bank, and the Sentinel
boys for courtesies during our stay.
