Your correspondent does not advocate

Recently a rumor has been afoat that
two or three of the pretty girls Of the
Mint are soon to be married, causing a
fluttering among the place-seeking girls
Of Carson; and maybe by this time the
Superintendent's pockets are bursting
with letters applying for the places to

The Republicans of our town held
