There is no more confident person in
the United States with reference to
this case, than is Ex-Congressman,
George ID Wise, the senior counsel in
this case. He has gone over the re-
cord carefully and it took much time
to do it. He called in a stenographer
and thereby facilitated the work.
At no stage of this celebrated case
has he been more enthusiastic, and he
declares that the errors at FarmVille
will make a reversal, a foregone con-

Among the things that furnish occu-
patton for the eyes and minds of the
Atlantic voyagers are the house
flies which accompany the great steam
ships from one side of the ocean to the
other. In fine, sunshiny weather the
flies buzz cheerfully about sheltered
places on the decks, and when the wind
blows high they take refuge in the cab
ins and saloons. The flies often remain
with the ship while in port and return
with her on her next trip, thus crossing
the ocean several times in succession,
and perhaps spending the entire sea-
son at sea.
