remind the Messenger that the
Democratic convention of Pitt
adopted no resolutions whatever,

nominations. After the nominations
had all been made a delegate did
introduce a resolution referring to

will be placed upon designing barns,

We were wondering the other day

rule as they were when the

years ago. The Greenville

his crowd had control of Pitt county,
the poll-tax was two dollars, against
one dollar and ninety-two cents this
year, and the tax on property was in
