Our National Holiday
Special to PLANET by Correspondent J
There was a raid few nights ago,
in the neighborhood OF 82nd ST., which
in the adroit and systematic way it
was carried out, could be hardly
eQualled elsewhere. 1t Was not raid
ike that OF the great Confederate cav
airy leader, General j. K. b. Stuart,
whose brilliant exploits has made him |
immortal; il was not like the raid of |
General Phil Sheridan who rode rough |
shod through the beautiful valley of
Virgins and rendered it SO bare that
the crow who attempted TO fly across
had to take his rations along with him.
Oh no, it was no raid like either OF
the two above mentioned, but never
theless it was bold one, it was raid
that taxed the courage OF the most
courageous.
This great, grand and gallant raid
was made upon the Chicken Coop" Of
one Of the neighbors. We don't know
whether the raiders who have been
carrying on q regular guerilla warfare
upon the neighbors' "hen houses"
were red, grizzled, gray, black or
white. but we do know that it was
famous victory. They stole like
thieves and escaped like snea.s.
Among the victims of this relentless
warfare was Mrs. Prudence rewe who
recOuntedgin pathetic tone, how the
raiders had gobbled up all OF her geese
and left the ganders to take fatherly
care Of the goslings.
Many more have suffered I'm this way
and the suoner the officers of the law
put a stop to it or the sooner the good
people, in the county provide them
selves with Winchesters, the better
for all.

theme. "Let us lay aside every weight
OF sin that doth so easily beset us, and
run the race with patience, looking un
to Him etc." from which he drew
forth and expounded many grand
truths, among the sins he exhorted al
to lay aside were selfishness, malice
hypocrisy and many others, and show.
