* Very early Southern publication

A very early issue from this town rich in history, being the oldest inland  town in South Carolina, the site of notable Revolutionary War battles, and home to six Confederate generals. Gregory notes that only one institution (Univ. of S. C.) has any holdings of this title from the earliest years.
Page 3 has a letter signed in type by: Andrew Jackson, in response to a: "Handsome Present to President Jackson".
Four pages, scattered foxing, small bit from the top, blank margin, good condition.
