houses are used to a great extent for
such purposes, but he did not think
it wise TO place on the statute books
a law authorizing their use for any
other than the purpose for which
they were built.
Some advertisers think it is far
more profitable to them to decorate
fence corners, and litter the streets
with dodgers than to use the papers.

lie, as do the flaming hand bills, like
epileptics along the road side. The
Pass as an interesting family pa

original remark.
