10 Sherdsn's School Tor Scandal, scandal r-->
gated by those who. in the OF retailing IT, II t,ut

tfom talking This is the way insnua.ions s,'

So the IphiS g. Ii is the general immersion :, ..
Gizzard Foot s editing the Eaquotf at ptesan..
Thus the Impression is endesvored to be n.al. 'a..
yet it 10 stated, as actually existing, then, in IA
breath, it is positively asserted, Thus we go e
zard Foot editing his own organ. That is. blow
ls own trumpet-a thing, however, he las J5s
lnany and many time before
80, Mrs. Crabtree would talk: Says a yoams ir.,
III company, III have known Instances OF it-ior ~
Letitis Piper, first cousin OF mine, he'd u Nn,.

by the whole town. that Miss Lstitis Piper has,
uslly been brought to bed Of fine boy and gin a.
in less than week there were some people who
name the father. and the farm house where 81
babies were put out to nurse
SO the Whg-First, at is the genera! mg.r-
that GzzardFoot is editing the Enquirer at rres.ni
then, "Of one thug We have no dou5t-his ha"
in the artcl. in its yesterdays issue" An! IL
it sweis into the direct charge OF "GizzHr,. r.
edi:iug his own organ! Ths, it, blowing hi, o@
trumpet-a thing, however, lie has done mat ass
many time before"
