BID news travels fast. We hev herd

Nv Deekin Pogram's face, ez the fatal
nooze wuz told him. A single tear
rolled from his lett eye, down his fur
r1wed cheek; it glittered for brief
moment on the top NV his brilliant
nose, aud plunged off into space !
How like our hopesl Never a word
sed he, but sadly beckoned me to
folIer.
Sadly he walked to the square,
mournlully he pulled down the Con
fedrit flag which hez waved from the
pole in front of BascOm's; tenderly he
folded it, and placed it under the bari

good old man busted into a food

drain NV moisture from his system
made it necessary for him to take
suthing to fill its place, and that
