There Is a we'll founded rumOr to the
effect that in short time there will be
a change in the prOprietCrship of the

purchased his interest thus becoming

why the Leader should no! sail onward
with q glow and brilliancy that can
only be shaded by the rays of the ir-
redescent and 0mnipresent COURIER.

ing the wrOwing OF the grass and
grain
