nearest carpet Dagger, the latter tsle,,
graphed to New Orleans and then to
Washington for troops to put down
the smokehouse, or the planter, or
the shotgun, but found that the SOL

Termination not to part with his
smoked meat, and a negro robber will

even have to GO to work and earn
their meat. Vicksburg Herald.
