A NERvINE RECOMMENDED.
Sampson Thinks DR.. K~ingsbury is Sorely
Afflicted.

The DR.. s. a. Richmond samaritan
nervine is a great specific for nervous
troubles, most especially for fits,
spasms, nervous debility, etc, and the
Wilmington Messenger seems to be
badly affected in that direction; there
fore we would recommend that he pro
cure a few bottles Of said nervine and
take it strictly according to directions
and diet himself with free coinage Of
silver and the Sub-TreaSury plan, and
if that won't do, take in the entire
Ocala platform and throw away that
pest, the national banking system,
Then most assuredly he Will feel re-
freshed and so gain his strength that
his nervous excitement will be claimed
and he can write with a SmOOthe and
steady hand government By the people,
and understand precisely the grounds
O~ccupiedby Jefferson, Calhoun and
Jackson, and will be able to give the
Alliance credit for demanding their
rights as citizens of this great republic.
(Their rights they are determined to
have.) May the God Of truth and justice
help him to leave off that intoxicating
beverage gambling at the expense OF
the handwriting man) and go for and
with the people at the ballot box for
legislation that will do equal justice to
all and harm to none. Then, and not
until then, do we think his conscience
can be easy. The poet says: "Whilethe
lamp holds out to burn, the vileStSInner
may return" We think that of him, if
he is not SO blinded with that one sin
which is the root of all evil (the love OF
money that he is given over to a hard
ness Of heart and reprObacy OF mind
that he will believe a lie instead OF the
truth. Better, far better, that true
democracy as has been run by news
papers and county rings so to defeat
(as the Avalanche says than for those
whom Odandn nature intended for sub
Ordinates and subalternS to have their
hard earnings taken from their wives
and children, while true democracy to
enable trusts and combine to steal what
he makes by hard and honest labor.
Brethren, stick together, and in No
vember, 1892. go to the ballOt-box with
that determination that the voters of
Sampson did last fall. Then true
democracy will learn a lesson, as those
true Democrats did who took part in
the nominating and failed to get their
ring-leaderS, then withdrew after the
nomination was over, called a new con
ventiOn of true DemOcrtS, y asked the
Republicans who were opposed to the
Farmers Alliance to endorse them,
then put candidates in the field to be
beaten and go down in history to the
shame and disgrace Of all concerned.
Brethren, be true, read The Progress
1 FARMER and the National Econ
OmiSt; they will keep you posted and
will help to educate you. L. L. Polk
needn'tfear the Messenger, 1t can't hurt
him. Truly, SAMPSON.
Girl-kissing still goes on. Some
time since a Methodist preacher on one
of u curcuits in the South kissed two
young ladies; they bowed on hun; be
was greatly damaged in his stand
ings on the charge-in his influence
and in his support. And yet, certain
preachers in high life, of the ~aristocrat-
&c order, smack the girls of sw eet tif-
teen and under whenever they please;
and it is all right. Bretheren, let us
have a little more democracy along
