becue and grand democratic rally
held at Puryis ON Saturday. On
arrival we found about 1000 people
assembled in the pine grove near

dale followed Mr.. Denny, aud made
one of the most powerful and con-
vincing democratic speeches of his
life. Col, Stockdale closed his
speech at one O'Clock, when dinner
was announced. After dinner the
smiling and contented faces Of the
multitude was an ample indication
that the pyramids Of snow>white
bread and barbecued beef, mutton
and pork, supplied by the good
citizens of Purvis, had been abun-
dainty and well served. At two
