 The Governor stated that he was not a and did not care to learn the language of abuse. but he presented the position of the four disappointed office seekers anti Constitution leaders-in such man. ner that no one in the audience cared to follow them. In regard to the state ment that he had said no white man would be disfranchised, the Governor said he had so spoken because 1t was the pledge of the Democratic Party. and he believed the Party would do 1t.

The town is surrounded by a rich prairie country. settled like all lands of that sort, owned by wealthy planters and cultivated by negroes. A dispensary has been opened at Thomaston and that is doing the town a great deal of good as the negroes from around Thomaston have been in the habit of go- ing to Cniontown to procure their whis- key and purchasing their other supplies there. but now that there is dispen- sary in Thoma ston and stores that con- tain everything that they may need, they come to the new town in droves, and fiourishing trade will be built up.
