were so hungry that they grabbed the
dough and ate it raw, not being able
to wait for it to cook.

the claim was a most meritorious one
and should have been allowed Ions

milton and the comforts it brings will
atone III measure for past needs.
We notice that n great deal of the
trade from the Southern end of tht

their merchandise and draw the trad
this way, as our paper circulates yer,
generally through all that district.
