When it comes to shooting with
rifles, the Elglishm IN lays it on to
the American.
THE continued strike Cf the OPP
orators, accounts for the scarcity Of
telegraphic news in to-tlay's paper.
THE cotton worm is reported in
Franklin county, though not in suf-
fcient numbers yet DO much dam
age.
IT will be hard on the Democracy
of Kinds if a maj rity of the Re

time past, be filed with honor TO
himself and county.
