his teeth gets whittier and looks

Hon. w. +. Stroud, Of
Chatham, was in Durham last
week. He is q prominent, in
telligent farmer and Alliance
man. His friends will urge his
nomination for Congress in this

lance have the majority in this
District and we presume they
will name the candidate. They
cannot find a better man than
"Buck" Stroud. /

professions so far.
