gold is found on the farm Of James

Last week the Decatur Republican
fairly howled with jealousy over what
it was pleased To term the Ivan Buren,
county newspaper syndicate. II there
is any crime in a mans owning what
property he can honestly pay for, we
must plead guilty To the charge. We
trust, Brother Rowland, that you'll lose
no sleep for fear of our having designs
on your little plant; though If you get

Type foundry men, like tailors and
milliners, no sooner get one style on the
market, and thoroughly introduced,

closely the varying styles of letter used
and procure il as soon as issued.

Thursday afternoon caused little rip
pie of excitement in the circle Of the
acquaintance of the high contracting
parties, from the fact that, with the ex
ception of perhaps half dozen people,
