en- mssse in this ve.ocipsdesn region,
and witness the innovation that this
startling theory OF loeomot is forcing

could but exclsim, "'tis wonderful, how

Jay said "The North Is generally the |

Hesiod describes the satyrs, es a race,
" good for nothing and unfit for ork,"
and ancient writers describe them as
" being fond Of wine" Had the elegant
Hesiod lived in our day, snd could he
have visited the Quaker City and seen
the imbibatioDs Of corner lounRers, with
huge neek-ties, brass chains, tight pants,
and indOleHt air, he you'd acknowledge
the corn that his NEUROLOGICAL creation
were not detlces to the real modern
ioafer. The readers OF the APPEAL can
rect assured that ineipient crime is In
loaaug, pledging IN drink, and maturing
in murder. The authorities have ordered
the arrts st Of all such. How does It work
in Memphis? Have you sny satyrs
among you?
