but would not heed his warning. She stall drank
the railroad poison, and became wild and crazy
during her railroad Illness. She had her town
council PASS an ordinance TO remove the county

But as the place is dead and buried, as Elijah
warned them II would be, II il said that Harvey
is now i'll with the same disease that killed his
town. He WAS attacked Immediately after his

railroad destruction, hut they were like the cities
Of the plain, they would not hear the warning
voice of the prophet, and are now dead, and their
streets will become IL resort for the wild beasts
of the forest, and the business houses = resting
place for the fowls OF the air; never again will
the HIgginsvilleites see the yard stick used, nor
hear the wotkman's hammer. Hark from the

can view the ground where your prophet warn

been easier for the prophet to have saved sodom
