who have respect for themselves

disgraceful business as fighting.

demolished and one of the horses re-
ceived a bad cut.

We have it upon the authority of
an exchange that once upon time a
certain man got mad at an editor and
stopped his paper. The next week he
sold his corn at four cents below the
market price. Then his property was
sold for taxes because he didn't read
the Sheriff's sales. He was arrested
end fined IS for going hunting on Sun
day, simply because he didn't know it
