all his life about them. Governor Smith
is awful sorry fer them. Livingston has
wept in great anguish sor them
Well, it must be & bad. sad case. BIZ. tt

when the creek w.s muddy they we're jus;
obliged to 60 seiains. Their crops were
always in the grass, a:.l thaY are in The

Alliance, and are waiting fer something
to turn up This ia plain iall;: but it is
true tall. Tie greatest Enemy the farmer
has got is his own incidence. No laal
