Those persons who have stolen the great
er part of the subscribers pork, and are at
present III the habit of stealing his corn, are
respectfully adrnonished that they are now
committing depredations on thsir own int
rest; for 1t is certain that if they deprive
ann of his corn, it will disable him from
iatlening his hogs next season, & of course
debar them OF the pleasure OF teastlng upon
the hard earned fruits of their labors. 1t
therefore, they will establish a non inter-
Course with his corn-crib, they will find
GeIr account in it; as, by SO doing, they
WIN preserve their essential resources Tor
