THE MATTER or CARrET-DAGGERs- -
THE ENTIRE QUESTION GONE ovER--JoE
BIoLER, AS USUAL, KICKS OVER THE
BUCKET.

May 10, 1862
THE presence Nv Pollock, the Illinoy
store keeper, at the Corners, hez alluz bin
a source nv oneasiness TO the old settlers
the bloc blooded ohiv2lry, who hev alluz
bin born here, and who hev lived here
from time immemorial. An Illinoyan by
birth, an Ablishnist by perfeshin, and n
Storekeeper by practis, he hez, from his
originel advent here, bin an onmitigated
thorn in the side NV the Kentuckans wich
lives at the Corners, wich thorn hez
rankled and ranked, till 1t hez testored
and finally broke. y...
There arc several reasons why he hez
bin onpopler. He credited the citizens Nv
the Corners, on his first arrival, for sich
goods ez they needed, and he'd the inn
poodence to insist upon pay. Deekin
Pogram in less than two months from the
openin wuz in debt suthin over a hundred
dollars, and the wretch not only Insisted
on pay ment, but absolootly sood him ant
Squire Gavitt, who wuz then Justis Nv th,
Peace, ishood papers Findin that tn
officers Nv the law NV the Corners woulC
not interfere in favor Nv disturber, he re
foozed to sell another dollars wuth saw
for cash, and from that time he hez rigedl,
adhered to that rool. Ez he keeps the onl,
stock NV dry goods there is in the Corners
the citizens are compelled to paterniz
him, and they hco 10 pay. This irol
hez bin entrin their sides for years, ant
finally IL wu1 decided TO hist him, and taxi
the chances NV somebody else comm II
his place The ackshen NV the citizen
wuz FASTENED, by the fact that two friend
NV hikzen wuz comm from his old hom
in Illinoy, TO start a Wagon and Coope
shop in the Corners, wich wuz an increas

instinks Nv our fallen nachers. He coo
and did sympathize with the chairman I
the meetin fully, and agreed with him
everything he he'd said. He did not b
lieve that needy advenoherers from Il
cold and frozen North shood come he
and possess themselves Nv the soil TO Il
excloosion Nv them native and to II
