POLE RAISING AT MILLER'S STATION.
As this appears to be Il Democratic year,
and pole raisings are in order, the Democrats
of Mllers Station and vicinity determined
not to be left, on Saturday last they set
to work and raised a well proportional hick
ory pole rs feet high, from which was sus-
pended beautiful national flag. The mate
rial for the flag was procured by Samuel FL.
| Hare and was made by Mrs. Samuel H. mare,
Mrs. Wesley Frank and Mrs. T. ID. Hare.
The pole was furnished by that interprising
citizen, John Grave, free of charge. L. ID.
Hare furnished the material wherewith to
make merry the occasion. After the raising
of the pole, and the flag being given to the
breeze, N. $. Warner introduced Jacob A.
| Frederick, as the first speaker, who made a
short but vigorous address upon the issues OF
the Otly anu wis luuulN dlpituhGus cdhiuSA
| II. Hoffacker was next introduced and spoke
about three-fourths Of an hour. The good
effect of his address was fully manifest by the
enthusiastic crowd, who so frequently inter
rupted him by cheers and loud applause.
There were about $50 persons present. The
grand success of the occasion will be more
fully manifest on Tuesday next, when the
Democracy of the long corner will in solid
column, as it were. march to their place OF
voting and cast their ballots Tor Cleveland,
Stevenson and Talbot, which means lower
taxes, free ballot and good government.
