THERE are enough oyster shells

inside of All umbrella, all at once

through"
GALLOWAY, the standard-bearer of
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad,
braved the mud to pay the Herald
Office n visit yesterday. If G. has as
many good qualities as the road he
represents, and we believe he has, he
don't want any further newspaper
notice. His merits will speak for
themselves.
