paying all Indebtedness. The lookup

His Honor, Judge F. f. Montgom-

the point, and if they follow his advice.
they will pay no attention to the gen.

attention to more serious matters.
Mr.. J. c. Purvis and family have

should not forget that we have State
fight on our hands aud that we will
need all the assistance possible. Let
us organize for it right away. Things
are entirely too dead.

We understand that one or two
prominent planters of the second
ward, and members of the Planters
Association, are doing all kinds of
dirty scheming in moving tenants
from their neighbors places. We
heard that a gentleman wanted to
bring the matter up before the meet

but that for some reason he was
scared to do so.

The Firemen at their meeting OF
