against us at critical moment. The
loss to the country from the late rains
is - be reckoned by millions. Ii is i'm

Tom, she warbled, as they hung

What the people want nowadays
is the news boiled down. They have
neither time nor disposition to read
half column articles Of news which
could be related in twenty lines, and

cordially receive and credit all who
may be in readiness TO pay us either in
