signer Of the Mecklenburg Declaration
of Independence. At 20 years of age
Mr.. Stevenson graduated from Centre

The DEMOCRATIC PARTY in Carbon
county seems to be just about as wide
apart as it was during last fall-but
to be particular, not the Democratic
party, but the leaders of the two
factions. Now, whilst the CARBON
ADVOCATE was in the thickest of the
fight it does not propose to sanction
any effort to keep up the disgraceful
discord that threatens to disrupt the
party in the future. We believe that
now is the time to get together, to
organize and cement all past difficult
ties, so that we can go into the Novem-
Der county battle and win by our old
time majority. We have all along sug-
gested methods of peace-let the two
factions appoint committees, get to-
gether and fix up things as they should
be, uIt won't do to hold off too long
unless there is trick back of it
somewhere, Get together

Would you comfort know,
As YOU hucksterng go,

Try the "Oi Tempered Spring."
Which Kreldler puts in,
And your platforms ride easy enough
Or have you notion,
To get rid Of horse motion,
Except the motion lenglhwise?
Then get the "Banner Spring" pealer,
Sold by Kreidler, the dealer,
And you will be sure of winning the prize.
Has your horse a quick gait,
That he can well wait ?
And when all the roads are just awful
Then get low Corning" Of Harry,
FoR StNrY-FIvE DOLLARS don't tarry
And he'll run on all roads that are lawful.
The up and down jerk,
The shafts every way work.
You can now effeciually CURE,
BY buying the Old Elliptic Spring style,
From Kreidler's nice pile,
And yon'll no longer these evils ENDURE.
Is your horse an old plug,
Whose grave should be dug ?

Which Kreidler will sell,
With top made so well,
For Fifty Dollars $50 breezy.
