And it came to pass that the voice Of
Hagai, from Buckeye, was heard in the
wilderness, crying, prepare ye the way, for

country about Buckeye to meet the giant
HagAi.
The people hearing rumors Of war sent
forth Richard, Of the house Of Burnside

And il came to pass that Thomas, Of the

to meet the wise man, Patterson, who was
much learned in the school OF Berea. And
behold John, Of the house Of Perkins, de-

cause of the mighty power Of Richard.
The man Of low statue, scattering battle

Again, in this days issue you say, "the

inuendo entirely groundless. have no
