WE'LL venture that many men.
who say they are too poor to take a
county paper, will attend the circus
that proposes to walk off with a
good deal of the loose change of
this County in a few days.
IF you want to see the man that
owes you that ''little bill,n ard that

of the circus. He'll be sure TO be
there squandering the money he
ought to pay his debts with.

dollars for some charitable purpose,

Yet, we suppose that the circus that
is TO be here on that day Will be
largely attended by people with
open pocket>books. all ready ~
give their mite toward supportin g
it.
A DRUGGIST, of Athens, has come
to grief-been prosecuted for SELL

before grand juries and courts, and
made to give in their evidence
against liquor vendors.
