roads. 1t is safe to assume, therefore, that

Granny Argus; Securing the active
support of the little BULLETIN for their csn-
didate was an exceedingly bsi stroke Of
policy on the part Of the Thomas men.
Remembrance Of the past would have
shown them the fatality attending the sup
port Of that little sheet."-'Tis a fact.
That little sheets support was certainly
very fatal to the present city council. But
why didn't the old lady speak before
Now that the battle is nearly over and
few INSCRIPTIONS politicians, armed with
ham" seem to have defeated those
represented by "that little sheet" armed |
only with ordinary good sense, it does seem

animal will survive is doubtful.
