Justice" the Single Tax organ, pub
lished last Saturday the TRANscRIpr's edi-
torial upon Single Tax entire and in par.
allel column quoted from all the great men
and women of the s. T. to demolish our

prove it, we feel that it Is Henry George

ice and snow covered all the earth, and have
resolved another time to wait for a more

town. One happened about $50 Wednes-
afternoon that was Serious enough but
might have been worse. George Brinkley,
DR.. T. H. Gilpin's colored hostler, was driv-
ing in from Silver Lake when the bride bit
broke and the horse began to run. He turned
at the Plaza and ran to the depot, up on
the platform, where Brinkley found opport-
unity to get out. The horse turned and
ran back Main street, persons trying to stop
him, and he was turned arouned, turned
over the carriage and breaking off the top,
and then ran with the four wheels out in
the country, turning into Mr.. Collins lane
and being caught in his field. The horse
was mot injured but Col. Gilpin will have
new carriage to buy.
