cyclones may be blessings in disguise
in setting i'll motion the stagnant at
mOsphere about such people.

on Thursday night at the Town Hall,
in declaring against the ballot as an
inalienable right said in proof that the
law did not allow imbecile people and

not blacken his soul by such an act as
marrying any drunken man to a
woman.
We are on the last half of March,
