Politics and Business
Just at this time, the entire State is at
the height of exciteirent over the probable
election of Wade llainptou as
GOVERNOR
The people are thoroughly aroused to the
necessity of electiug him to .occupy the gu
bernatorial chair and to restore the one?
proud name of our commonwealth to her
former high position among her sister states.
To this end, the people, with one accprd.
hare resolved to put down radical rascality
and its prime leader, Governor
Notwithstanding this fact, J. W. McCur
ry, who has just returned from the North
(where he bought up the largost and best
assorted stock of new and desirable goods
which U has ever boen his pleasure to offer
to the public) intends tcksew that his custom
ers shall ba*u the benefit of the low prices
at which he bought them- Tho rumor thai
a prominent citixen of Camden had beea
UTI?
Would no dotfM cause grt>at excitement
among tho people, but the rush ami excite
ment of eager buyers at J. W. MoCURKY'S
popular store eclipses any event of that
kind which might take place.
BY THE
Experience of a long mercantile career, 1
have bc?n enabled to buy my goo>ls at the
very closest figure, and atn determined that
buyers shall have all the advantage.
It is well known thai the
RADICALS
have lielJ power in tlic state for (lie pa*
nine years, l>ni this will not dctor tnc front
