Awful Wicked.
The antinewspapers and orators
said it was awful wicked in Till
man to SAY aught against the
judiciary, but they are sailing into
Judge Norton all the same because
he decided the State printing case
in favor of Tillman.
Stevens Creek Meeting.
The protracted meeting which
was to have commenced -st Little
Stevens Creek Church last week,
has been postponed until after the
election. Mr.. Rookie, the pastor of
that church, thinks that politics
and religion are not very closely
related, and, therefore, should not
be brought together except when
absolutely necessary.
DR.. Whatley's Coolers.
A. friend writes US as follows:
"Will you kindly republish piece
of poetry which appeared in the
columns of the ADVERTISER few
years ago entitled 'Dr. Whatley's
Goobers.' By this you will oblige
more than one of your readers"
We regret that we are unable to
comply with the request of our
fair friend. When our files were
destroyed in the holocaust Of Jan.
81, everything went, "Dr. What
ley's Coolers" and all.
Last Meeting.
The Conservative Executive
Committee meets at Edgefeld on
satl rday next, the 9th inst. See
Chairman Aliens notice in an
other column. As this is only three
days before the funeral, which
takes place on the 30th, it is held
no doubt for the purpose of ar
ranging for the obsequies, but
badinage aside. Our brethren have
gone astray,~ but let US not mock
at their calamity.

cloudy weather.
