1t is currently reported around town that
numerous forgeries have been made by
one of our citizens of a sporting turn, who
has, it is feared, been leading a too active
life. We understand that the holders of
the alleged spurious papers are disposed to
be merciful toward the accused on account
of his family and for other reasons, which
1t is hoped may prove true and it is further
hoped the accused transgressor will take
warning and profit by bis experience if he
escapes punishment this time.

they have been quite busy in this branch
since the fire at DATES. 1t is one thing to
pay out your money and another thing to
get compensated if a loss occurs. Get in

agents who represent good companies and
it is we'll with you
All over the county.
