him. When he sits he doesn't mean to

has failed TO prepare himself, and the
case is continued, he taxes the client
of that lawyer with the costs, and you
know that is not so very agreeable to
the client--and not very comfortable
to the attorney. They don't continue
many cases now, and Marks is fast

All of which Is strictly true and be
it said to the credit of Chancellor
Marks, he is fast relieving Chanccry

speaking Of the people OF Bed'0ro'
"They are not annoyed about nav

nil orr furniture and in fact everything
about our houses, and, we might say,
everything we use, made so far away
from us that we are not disturbed with
the noise of machinery or the sound OF
the steam whistle. In hot weather we
are furnished with melons from Geor-
gia, and 0 VIC have cabbagcs from
Michigan. and if we could only get
Uncle Sam to run one Of his fast mail
trains down this way so that we could
have our breakfast sent to US from up
North, already cooked, so that we
would not have II mornings rcpose
disturbed by the noise and hustle about
the cook room, our happiness would
then be complete, with one single ex
ccDtion, and that is, where, oh! where
is the money to zone from to pay Ton
all this But when we think of this |,
