write another's love-letters, under the
title of "A Postscript," j are particularly good0 Godey's never looked
better than it looks now. In this day
when so many old publications are
verging toward decrepitude and dotage, it is a pleasure to find one that
defies the march of time, and still
preserves its prestige, its vigor and
freshness while the years roll on.—
That all may be convinced of its merits, the publisher offers-to send the
book for the remainder of the year
for 75 cents. J* H. Haulenbeek, P»

The Register shows the untruth of
the statement of a Mt. Pleasant Tribune correspondent that Farwell is
weeping over the loss of the T,, A.

Ashley never even made Farwell
a proposition. A letter from Mr.
Ashley is published showing that he
has been in communication with the
Farwell committee and that there is
a chance yet ofthe roads striking our
