give In one inch to tbe common euemy, but
will Ogbl them to tbe bitter end. Let It be
distinctly understood that tbe South Imp.
Company is not defeated. They nay be
somewhat demoralized but are not dead by
any means. Tbey have capital, brains,,
low cunning, and plenty or rascality to
back them up, besides tbe aid of railroad
monopolies and corrupt corporations. We
mint organize thoroughly lor defense, else
our good ship aod gallant crew will be
swamped. Let every man constitute blm'
Mir a vigilance eommituie of one to aid In
defeating the villains aud thieves that seek
to rob aod plunder the entire region, and
render us worse loan bankrupt Therefore,
let every bonest man, no matter whether
he Is a producer, refiner,, engineer, driller,
or laborlog man, attend tbe meeting this
evening, and assist In forwarding tbe good
work. "Standi to your guos, men or tbe
