office alone is responsible for it, Fur
Their that the so called newspaper
which is so fast to eSpouSe the olher
side had better learn what it is talking
about before it pitches in SO freely.
The card or directory for which the
gentleman was soliciting is printed as
a job and does not appear in any paper.

sderably over 1900 instead OF under,

cur sometime, however.
