LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.
Now Lew, what have you been and
gone and done in that kind of way for?
Do you really think, for certain, that
you're goin' to go! We need not ask,
in the words of the poick, whom, as a
classic scholar, you must remember well
-"Whar did you come from ?"-for we
are aware that you emerged from a neck
of buckeye woods-but We respectfully
perpetrate the interrogatory in the
language of the illustrious poick aforc-
said" Whar are you gwine to p Can
it be possible that you think of maxim
a cussed foreigner of yourself? You
know that that would not be according
to the great American Spread-Eagle
whom we remember to have been in
debted to you for some of its Hottest
flights. What do you want to sell every
thing at one fell swoop for? For money!
Yes, be sure. But think of it-business
houses and residences, factory buildings
and farms, stock and bonds in hydraul-
les, land in Middletown, lots in Oxford,
a considerable portion in Darke county
why you must have an idea of shaking
the dust from your shoes, as it were.
Take care that you don't shake off your
shoes also-it would not be the first
time that a lively pony going down hill
had done such a thing. Must you gal
lop away and leave your dear VALLAN-
DIGTIAM to ''tread alone" those sweet
familiar walks so often dusty with the
din of your hoofs? You will (won't
youO stay and see him through with
hat lot of " gentlemen OBJ color in the
fuel" cut from the tall timber in the
Butler District? We hope that we are
not to blame, in any degree with this
" anticipated change in place of resi-
wise you to go, unless to go home and
stay there, or to go to that seven hun
bred acres of land in Darke county; but
we take the liberty to beg you not to go
to the Clifton House to keeps Congress
ional shooting gallery. That wouldn't
pay, for you couldn't get any customers,
All! A light breaks in upon us! You
have seen the comet and are making
ready. But if you sell out in eonse-
quence of that thing, where can you in
vest with safety! Have you a notion
of taking part in the Chinese war?
Don't do it. The spectral luminary is
just as likely to hit the other side of the
world as this side and, besides. you
couldn't get to China before the 10th of
June! And now, in this parting hour,
is there anything beyond publishing
your advertisement that We may do for
you?
p. S.-According to our regular rates,
the insertion of your advertisement
would cost you one dollar. No insinu-
alton in tended.-Crn. Commercial.
