cans ought 30 be proud o. such al
honorable paper as The Caucasian

take The Caucasian. and every sub j
scrIbeT ought at least get one Demo /
crat subscriber. I think. to be sure. /
they would turn over a new leaf and
try 10 do better by just reading The
Caucasian a few months. Just q few
weeks past a poor woman came to-
me with tears in her eyes aud said
We have worked hard, bought and
paid for a piece OF land, now our
health has failed us. we are not able
to work, and they have put more
taxes on Us and what will We dor"

looks gloomy for us all" | broke
down with the poor woman in tears
of sorrow. | saw only a few days
ago an old mother and father, their
heads silvering for the grave. bend

getting Naboths vineyard. He want

0 It is so much that way now. The
s officers are after the money and care
O little how it comes so they get in pos

b the paper about our county. Its
Democratic and of course its in bat

five and six dollars. We have since
bought fifty more acres of land. Las
year it was near $25, and | have NJ
idea what it will be this year; jus
outrageous, / know that much. LIE
ut all Republicans wake up in goo'
E. house-a-fire style and see if some
1t thing can't be done to save the coun

is telling the people of their owl
ho oh. that we had several thousan
more such men Men that can stan
IL for the right thing and tell the pei

Gu not face Mr.. Butler? Stop and thin
who they are. 1t is men that cannt

nc fit for our children.
