! Esq, prominent attorneys of the
! WeatherfOrd bar, spoke in favor of the
! proposed amendment to the constitution

| nor, at the court house last night. They
| were greeted by fair audience, and as
they enumerated the strong points in
favor of their side of the question, drew

ney-general had won for him the respect
and admiration of the people of the en-

been contemplated to have a joint dis
cussion of the proposed amendment be-
tween the friends of the opposing caudi-
udltsg UG hDduuOhth MS w tAS uOuS DG-
cause it was thought that a barbecue at
that time would interfere with the bar
Decue and reunion of Confederate vete-
rams to be held on the 9TH and Sth of
August. A list has been circulated to
which q great many followers of Gen.
Hogg have signed their names, and they
will meet on next Friday night to perfect
