pIete their work accordingly. after
which, we presume, the election will

So far as Lexington county is con-
cerned, We have endeayored to dis

prejudice to enlighten the people Of

decide, and while we still contend, in
the end, they will not better their
condition By leaving Lexington, and
we viii certainly regret to lose their

tory. Therefore, We hope they will
never decide to leave Us, but use their
better Judgment and allow their bones

about Mr.. Lincoln and his little son,

they dare not attach their names to

The fact that these specialists have
discovered entirely new treatments
