Young Men Do Your Duty.—It has been more than three years since the war ended. Since that time many young men have arrived at the age of twenty-one, and who, if proper steps are taken, can procure their certificates to vote. The last one of them should come forward and discharge this duty. The exigency of the times demand it; manhood demands it. Do not hold off and say that you do not care. There is too much at stake—your friends, yourselves have too much at stake to pass over so slightly that which is of so much importance. One vote may save this civil district; one vote may save the country, one vote may save the Congressional district and elect our choice—a white man, Hon. J. W. Leitchwich—to office. Think of thief Smith and radical Nunn. Register if you can. The Registrar will be here the first week of next Circuit Court.
