All is not Sweetness over in the
vicinity of b. S. Gardner's mills, even
If My Honey" does run there. It
seems that our townsmen, u. b. Rey-
nolds (Bonny), as he is Familiarity
called, was over in that locality re-
Gently, and discovered a large bee
tree" of the hemlock variety, and, as
is customary, put his name on the tree,
which, upon investigation, proved to be
a line tree between the lands of B. S.
Gardner and Hiram Proper, and the
owners refused to have it cut at pres

"Oh, My Honey! Goodbye, My Honey;
I'll Never Come to See You Any More
