US that in his section the washes

Let Us Flop Together.
To. satisfy all parties and both
sexes, to heal all wounds and to
cause both wings and the tail OF
the Democratic party to flop in
unison, We propose the name OF
DR.. w. D. Jennings, sr., of Edge.
field for Governor Of the State of
South Carolina. The doctor is a
hard shell Baptist, but no bigot
in religion or. anything else, and
believes in the good old Jackson
ian dogma "to the victors belong
the spoils," SO long as the spoils
hold out.

:oasting ears in six weeks OF up
and from the time you plant it.
Friend John R. Tompkins of Cen
re Springs brought to our Office
IN Monday a few dozen ears of
his really remarkable cereal. John
planted this corn the middle of
March, and has been eating green
corn ever since the first of May.
The ear is.s medium sized, but the
grains are large, full, and sweet,
and are free from spot or blemish.
John Tompkins is a handsome
young man, always has good
eating at his house aid some rich,
rare, and radiant maiden ought to

elors) can't conceive of anything
