looks very much like storm.
Gracious Did you see Lortons last
expression in the Citizen about
"Gabriel's" valedictory and then
coming out the next issue over the
non-dep-lume of three stars? If
Lorton has seen any articles of late
in the SIGNAL signed with three stars,
he has seen more than anyone else.
He is wise in his Judgment Solomon
in all his wisdom would be ashamed
to stand up beside our friend Lorton
if he were on earth just now. The
ssCitizen man" is as visionary as
usual, and willing to pass judgment
upon sight, without stopping to con-
slider. Go it; there are no feas on US.

ago. For instance think how in
consistent it is for a man who owes
taxes to the amount of one hundred
dollars and the assessor comes around
and asks him for it. He says, am
out of money just now, but have here
county warrant of one hundred
dollars; will you receive it in lieu
of nv taxes? The answer must be
no, because it is unlawful. The like
