through the counties of Coffee Frank

amuse, instruct and delight the mind,
therefore We ask small space in
your valuable paper to speak Of mat

presented to our view.
First then we would direct your
attention to the town of Winchester
in Franklin. county-this truly is

least calculated to cast a gloom over
our mind was the fact, that the Genl.
