Nvr,rt,cc nv srur, Wv .onrIa -
citizens OF this county met in pubic road
on a very cold day in the winter Of 1870.
One Of them had a bottle of good whiskey,
and they took drink. On the very same
day, hour, and spot, in the winter Of 1871,
they met again, and one OF them having a
bottle, they took another drink. Whether
to attribute this coincident TO accident, or
the spirits, is the question.

graphed, and copies sent all over the coun-
try. Besides, every citizen should have a
copy of it, for il would be an ornament in
any business house, office or residence in
