feW days several persons from tue country
have been swindled by the confidence game

teman1Y strangers, in want Of money for o
minute OF SO, while they go to make change or
see afrlend- Money thus;loaned must be lost,
and the loser has no redress except to knock
down the rascal if he ever finds him-which
is extremely predetermined and take it aYay
from him.
