as was noted in the SITTER of last

Shanks was followed by d. H. Mar.
den of So. Londonderry and M. j
Hapgood of Peru. The last named

liquor agences and the effects arising
from the maintenance of them. The
declarations of Lyle and Lorer
Pierce are worthy of special mention
To be sure it is time the people Of
this country were educated to The

force upon us the idea that we ar,
not susceptible of right or wrong, ant
express their thoughts not for tn
cause they pretend to work for, bu
to serve their own ends.
