&tjop of a house and lot on Duck creek
SO generously rendered him by the CIT.
Il liens of that classic precinct. Ana LOT
4 fear that his motives in so declining
may be misconstrued, he solemniy de~
clarea that he declined the same, not
q thai he loves Duck creek less--no, new
er-but rather that he values his perN
y sOnal safety far more.

\ Texas, the United States and tue world
are to be congratulated upon the exist
euee OF such locality as Duck CREEK
where not only can large crops OF COT

where also, on shorter notice aud upon
q siightar provoCation, more hell can oe
raised than in any other precinct III

4 Resolved ftHthel, That we think CON
gress should not content Itself with re-
monetizing silver only, but should go
further and remonetize our pockets III
which good work we promise them the
hearty cooperation aud assistance OF
4 all Que numerous creditors.
Resolved further, That we respectful
ly request our Legislature at its next
a session to change the name OF pock

that We despise the goose, but In Jus,
tice to the outraged aud slandered
. duck.
