JOHNSON, Nov. 5, 1894.
News and Citizen Il noticed in issue of
LIST inst that my esteemed friends Gray,
Sargent & Co., continue to gasp. | am glad
to know that they are giving the scriptures
some thought. | shall order no more, not
even in small doses. as it is like casting pearls
before swine, they lie Just the same. About
my list, regret as much as any one that it
is so small; yet have never felt at liberty
to rob the dead and thereby deprive orphans
of their rights, nor steal public highways,
nor purloin my neighbours sap when sugar
is but Az cents per pound, for the sake of in-
creasing my list or Boosting of my earthly
possessions. Yours to the end SEWELL,
P. S.-Please call again, gentlemen, when
you feel able; only 10 cents line. Give us
long one. Don't be afraid of hurting my
feelings, even if by accident you should speak
a word of truth. S.
