When the lamented Jind beloved
Vance was a candidate, for Governor,
in 1876, he and Judge Fowls were
not even on speaking terms, yet that
great orator and lover of constitu
tional liberty stamped the State for
Vance, and all the way down from
the lofty peaks of the blue lidge to
the sandy beach of old ocean his
splendid voice was heard in favor of
Vance, Democracy and constitional
liberty. Let every Democrat in the
State go and do likewise. Weldon

Protect the Children. ,
Children going to and from the
graded school today ought to have
been furnished with boats or Btilts.
The ditches that have been cleaned
out and the other work done on that
street amounted to nothing, as now,
the water covers the sidewalk nearly
to the graded school house from
West Depot street Can't we have
this street improved in some, way as
our children have to travel it this
winter going to and from school.
The city authorities ought to look
into this at once and. have the force
put this much neglected street in a
better condition before the bad
weather sets in, and it will be a
great benefit to the children and
public generally.
A Democratic Redaction.
Here is ;somethingf about politics
that the good ladies of Surry-county
can appreciate. Flannel which were
sold three months ago at twenty-
fiye cents a yard can now be bonght
for twenty cents. This is a saving
of five conts a'.yard. The Baying on
all qualities of flannel is twenty per
cent or one fifth. ' Flannels which
heretofore have sold at fifty cents a
yard can now be bought.at forty
cents. In buying ten yards of
flannel which has heretofore sold at
twenty five cents a yard there is a
saving of fifty cents. 'All this is
the result of the new f Democratic
tariff. In hundreds of other ways
the people will save many dollars
which have heretofore gone to
satisfy the greed of an extravagant
Republican government Tne Demo
crats are carrying ont their promises
and if given time will give this
country the best and most economic
al government it has had for thirty
