We attended the debating society at Will
kinsville last Saturday night Notwith-
standing the bad weather there was q good
turn out and a go ID deal of fun. The query

finally decided iR layor bfTexas.
There we're many original ideas ad vanc cd
on each side, and we might mention ,some
laughable ones. One young man said he
couldn't see how any man who had been
bread (bred) and buuered in South Carolina
could say anything against the old State.

sive people i'll Texas went there from this
and other States to do something for them
selves and their families and it is the loss of
these that gives VS. cause for complaint.

favorably with any in the country, and We
have reason 10 congratulate ourselves that
most of our young men are trying 10 make
something of themselves.
