mon expression here in White Oaks
Well, times are hard. but 10 those whJ
are making the loudcsl complaints, we
will venture to assert, that they have
No idea of the meaning Vt the words
AS used in The east. "Iiarl times" there
to the poor, means ~ lack of the com
nonest necessities of life. There is no
a man i'll Lincoln county that will say
he cant make living Hard times i
the cry all over the country, therefore
be content with living, gcn'lemcD
until "good times come, which is no
long ways off.
