The AdrOcate is "A staunch advocate of De-
mocFacy. and is one of the ablest papers in
the State, and besides being handsomely
printed its columns contain all the county
happenings, the State and general news, full
reports Of important events, and a large
amount of instructive reading, including able
editorials, &c. The people of Carroll can
well be proud of such an interesting sheet,
and we wish Vanderford Bros. long continued
success, which they richly deserve.

paper in the State, its editorials are instruc-
live, its politics unexcelIed, its circulation
very large, and its usefulness is hard TO over
estimate by the people for whom it is pub
| lshed.
