1 A gentleman from this place,
was. last week, travelling in coach in an
adjoining county, where many believe that
1t is very witty to cast slurs upon this
county. His stage companions were a
couple of young ladies, who were out on
q mission selling tickets for grand fes-
tival to raise funds for building church
in the town of NJ. As they were
passing over an uneven part of the road
the gentleman remarked:
1.-THE road is very rough here"
"Yes," said lady No. l, "but they are
worse further down."
"Thst is down in the dark hills of Mon
roe," said No. g.
"They say the people are not more
than half civilized down there" said No.
4. Whereupen they both giggled.
They then explained their mission to
the gentleman, and asked him to buy a
ticket
"How much will your church cost7"
enqulred the gentleman.
"About twenty-five hundred dollars. I"
"Our village" said the gentleman" is
not more than half as large as yours, and
we build churches worth Eve and six
thousand dollars without any outside
aid"
"And where may that be, pray?" said
No. l.
"n the dark hills Of Monroe" said the
gentleman.
The tickets were pocketed, and the
ladies subsided.
