II seems that there is certain crowd
composed of the "would-be tough" eie-
ment of young men in this city who al
ways make il their duty 10 create dis
1droance at every possible opportunity
and especially upon an occasion when
any gentleman would behave as a gentle
man should. A gang of those would
bss" tried 10 start a scrap al the normal
social last night and made themselves
ridiculous by their uncouth and ungen-
t,emanly actions. When children get as
large as most Of these fellows are and
yet do not know how TO behave decently
in public their papas and mammas should
look after these little ones.

cage from % 10 % bushels per acre. He
owns over a section of land and yet he
usually rents a large tract each year for
farming purposes.
