Education in wilkinson.

At the dawn of day on certain Monday

entering a car in the interior of Ohio, bound
for Sandusky city, was startled by very
loud and impassioned tones proceeding from

was descanting vehemently upon the vast

his adversary who had 50 imprudently walked
up the wrong passenger at that early hour.
"Sir," he said, "Vicksbnrg is the Athens OF
