! Mr.. G. e. Leach, a we'll known

rs now in Washington. He says of
the political outlook in his State:
:. 81 don't think there is any dOubi
that North Carolina will return to
its old love and give & round ma
jority for the national and state
democratic tickets. The coalition
between the republicans and poPu~
1bsts has about gone TO pieces, and
the nomination Of a free silver
ticket at Chicago means the return
of thousands OF populists to the
democratic ranks. The state is
overwhelmingly for free silver, and

Tie United States Of Today,

A young man called at our Office
a few days ago and showed us a
work which is being introduced i'll
this county, with request that we
examine it. We are in a position
every day to judge of books and
reading matter, but we consider this
book. entitled the "Handboolz Of
the United States" the BEST book
Of the kind ever issued from the
press 1t is not a history, but a
description Of cur country as it is
today. the result Of four centuries
Of progress. History deals with the
past, while this deals with the pres
ent. We have never before seen
anything like it, or its equal in
quality Of paper Or character Of
Illustrations FOR the price asked for
it. Every family needs just such a
work, and every young man and
woman ought to possess q copy.
We have ordered a copy for our
selves, and we would be glad to
know that every person in the
county who is trying to improve
himself, Or the minds Of his family,
had done the same.
