A citizen of Luliug started in on the

termed it cut down expenses" He
went down to CELEBRATE the occasion with
little liquid symp athy," and told the
saloon man OF his re solve. The latter
thinking he was about TO lose custom,
er, expressed his regrets that financial
ADVERTISEMENTS should force such rigid
economy, but the citizen assured him
that it would nos affect his supply OF
the l;quid-that was a necessity and
could rot be dispensed with. Anxious
to know where the economy was 60
ing to come 10, the blrkeeper yentured
to ask where he was going to begin his
cuTtailment of expenses, and found that
he had concluded to stop taking his
county pape-. which cost him tie fab
uious sum Of TWO DOLLARS per year !
The aforesaid citizen now sleeps sound
" with 30 fears Of heartless creditors.
for have not his expenses been cut
down TO suit the hard times?

debtors property to be advertised by

remain posted, and those interested
in seeing property disposed of at

these posters, and the public thus re

posters are often destroyed by per-
sons interested in there being no com
petative bidding, and when the day
of sale arrives, the debtor is sacrificed.
