Some Of them are assessed IN two or
three different hundreds. while others
are not even Of age. The Republicans
are playing a desperate game, and will
leave no stone unturned, by fair or foul
means, to carry the coming election
Democrats should be on the lookout for

morning at least twenty negroes were
brought here from the lower part Of the
county TO be assessed. and Just what TO
do with them Is puzzling the Levy

more than three months, have been
brought here for assessment.
