breakfast, and two horses, all accSmmoda-

landlord, who is a very frehdly man, only
charged one dollar fifty cents, about the cost
of The hsrses, thinking perhaps ac Mr. was
about TO start paper IL this county he
might form some acquaintance, and receive
his good wishes, if nothing else. The land
lord did not expect Mr.. was going TO be
tool for certain other printer at that time.
