E There has been good deal Of unnecessary
ferment about who it is that tells us know nothing
secrets. A good many men, We are told, have
been fixed upon. DR.. T. L. BRYAN tells that he
has been charged by some. We wish 10 relieve
not only DIR. BRYAN, but every body else here, by
saying that information of the golicca secrets
of know nottingham and we seek for no other
comes through decided wing, who is not himself
q member OF the order, but who has way of find
ing out things. We don't know who tells him.
and he does not live in this county. He has never
made mistake in telling US what would be done.
and so we judge his means of obtaining intelligence
to be reliable. To the best of our knowledge and
baief no member of the order has ever BETRAYED
any Of its secrets directly to u.s. We hope this
general disclaimer will relieve not only Dr. Bryan,
but every body else from the suspicion of posting
us up in k n. secrets. .- -s-- s-s. -.

lsg cane beneath he wears hunting coat with
broad flaps, and fitting tightly to his back, while
his tail us out and curls saucily between the skirts
His legs have the coon bend, butare firm and mus

Or do what YOU will
The rank scent of the coon

learn that it is prescribed by physicians in their

no preparation of Sirsaparilla sold in this market
