this territory, and I am satisfied that they
have known me. l do not think it is
right, or do think there is any excuse
for the fact that he would denounce me
as villain, not in so many words, but
accusing me of facts which, if true,
makes me villain in the signt of the
law, and should be punished in the pen-
tentiarv. "a voice: Carter will saw wood
after the 9th. of November.) My friends,

friend of mine say while listening to his

Pat remarked: "If that lad ever cut any
wood it was because his neighbors did
not have any cut" Laughter and app
lause.
