An old gentleman with whitened
locks and a tobacco stained chin, asked
us the other day If we could give him a
prescription that would assist him in

fifty years. He says it is injurious and
also curse to the man who chews it.
This old man knows whereof he speaks

break loose from the habit that will
sooner or later enslave them.

Dubois win be city of 10000 inhabi'

his long imaginary flight, two citizens
of his town were blown into eternity
and no mention was made in his paper
of the sad accident. An editor who
gets SO far ahead of time cannot expect
to be able to chronicle all the news OF

Monday evening. We are unable Il
saw whether there WAS any foundation
