FRIEND DoANE:-Aftcr the pen of Sir
Hannibal, Snaggle Fritz, and Scipio, al
low me small space in your columns
to correct some Of his (Scipio's) little
mistakes. Hannibal is smart man, but
Snaggle Friss is still smarter, but Scipio
beatsyem' ALL We think he is on II now
Men in tolerably good Standing ought
to try and stay SO. We -dont,lovc to
see them tramplc down what they have
once believed in SO strong, and it may
be yet that Scipio has his name OH the
Methodist class book for all we know,
but if he has we think he il not whole
souled Methodist, but is just about sold
out, at least it is said that he that is eve
Try body's man is no bodys, and tits some
times the case; and we are afraid this
will be the result of the said cvcrybody's
firm. We think that this is not all the
firm that has life in it, there arc some
firms that does not belong to everybody.
they are owned BIZ individuals. and we
think il is good sense not to Let every
body belong TO the same firm, for it
might loose some of its capital stock.
We say nothing hard about the $50
man, for nc is like some Of the rest Of
us. he needs every 80 cents lie can get
and by this means we think by another
crop season his beloved wife will'gct to
stay in the house like a lady. instead Of
blowing corn while her husband rides
in his buggy and takes things easy.
Mr.. Scipio was very much mistaken
about the crazy little General not having
sense enough to be afraid Of anything
that is what hurts around here he has
q most too much sense to suit most of
our smart men, or men that call them
selves smart. The little general is just
like Johnson's shccp-hc has got head
of his own, and he is willing to risk the
if lie runs against any.
thing he is one that can not be taken
by the nose and hauled here and there,
he does just what is his duty, and that
Is what he was sent hero to do.
NJ. Scipio is like the dutcliman we
heard OF some time ago, ho would not
pay his Surveyors fees, because Jimmy
said IL was too much, and he
laid that Jimmy IIarbison was d-m
smart man. and so we think this way Of
,ur friend Scipio. A new coat don't
asst some rs long as it would others,
md it may be that Mcthodism has worn
,ut with him.
Well in regard to tho Order Of Good
remplars, all is quiet on the Rapidan,
lostilitcs have about ceased, and We are I
Increasing fast; those that have made
10 much noise have gone TO sleep, and
t gives MS chance to hear those that

We get plenty of as noble youths as +.
his country atiords,-comc along, we
owe to see you come, a noblcr moral
'ausc never called true men together.
We hope to see the day when all will do

hings about the Order, but VIC arc sorry {
