The carrying of concealed weapons is a
subject now being generally discussed by the
press of the country. The way to suppress

a great measure responsible for the carrying
of concealed weapons. Abolish the nip pants
pocket and you get rid Of pistol carrying. No

Of the country make pants minus that danger
Gus pocket, and the pistol toting will cease.
