accomplished gentlemen, it was a
pleaure to be with him. AS Judge of

BILE positions in his community. and as

Attention is called to the ADVERTISE

Volume 1, No l, of the Phenix City,
Alabama, Record, by Joseph G.
Bromell, is a new exchange. Joe was
formerly typo on the GOLD LEAF,
and knows a good thing when he sees
it. We find in his columns a lengthy
article dedicated to the Tom Jones
Rifles, a local military company, but
he omits to give credit either to the
author or the paper from which it was
taken. 1t was an address delivered
before the Vance Guards by w. r.

published in this paper at the time.
North Carolina never lost two moro
enterprising and energetic men than
Davis & Gregory, formerly Of Oxford.

what hard work means, and they
understand the art of taking off coal
and rolling up sleeves. They will be
blessing to Richmond's tobacco trade
if Richmond treats hemright. Should
Richmond fail in this, the Old Nortl
State will welcome back her sons will

possible through the courtesy OF free
