that the principal part for them to play was to
collect money at the door.
The people of Waterfowl have had good

Our agent, Mr. n. Burtch, has been
travelling through the county the past week,
and has met with good success. Considering
the prevailing politics of the county we did
not expect his way would be always smooth,
but the only breach of civility he notes is the
case Of DR.. Reed, of Jefferson, who gave him
some of his lip, but protected himself by do

that he knew it would never be published. 1t
