deacon has been requested to resign
On account of his politics.
Women take to bargains as men
90 to politics and ducks to water. The

miles long, and works all the time:
and all for 81 year. Now is the time
to subscribe.

Every honest man deserves a reason
able profit on his investment of capital

built up by selling goods at less than
q lair, honest profit.
