Tie Paraphernalia is new and lovely.
The Repertoire peerless, &C., for

Now, what's the trouble here? Is
this a Lottery or an undeveloped Sill
yer Mine? Is this the estate of some
rich Deacon, IF is it the empty howell
OF some Poor Man, whose bones rat

Do some of the above explain the
circus? Why then all this racket?
The City Council is trying to open a
Street. Parties who own the Land
think it worth 81 per foot. Parties
who want to travail the Street, think
1t worth 81 per acre.

What kind of a Snap is this? If
there is no danger of a Raid from the
Police, We will drop in and try Our
Luck. Leave word with a Friend
where we are going, so if there is any
Foul Play our remains can be found.
What is that Man doing? Why, He
is slyly opening a Package that cost
Him SIT. 1t is Peanuts. This Lady
over here paid 50 for a chance, and
has a Package of beans. Our Friend
over here looks like He was sen for

Package of Sawdust. This Young
Man here robbed his employer of SIS

The Uurbana CO., Daity News, OF
November 21, 81, says:
