Bune which not only knocks all the kernals
of of that cob, but has the hardihood TO say
that ThomasJ. Erow, of Clearheid county,

the tune of S15, 600, and with no assets worth
mentioning.

true. but sincerity trust that Mr.. Mills, who
mas long been known an honorable and
public-spirited citizen, may soon succeed ia
overcoming all his financial difficulties and
taking his place once more among the sue
cessful business men of this community.

death of Mrs, 2. j. Braddock we stated that
