Saturday night that while me was staying in
our beautiful town, he had been told what a
great political change had come about in our
place. The whole town will give him credit
fer telling one fact that actually is. Yes, a
great change is taking place, you bet! No less
than six converts have backslid, already, and
more are on the slide. just watch Waubay's
smoke and see If it don't fool ye! We are onto
the place where the captain soiourned while in

interest to pay, gentlemen, that is the latest.
It's a crime. and Kidd will be held responsible
for it backed up by the Bible. Oh! what a good
time is coming by and by.
