would always occur on the first

came on Sunday, but owing to the
unprecedented floods, giving our
farmers additional work, the de.
struction of bridges, the interior
ence with preparations for the sham
battle, and particularly in defer

been so liberal in patronizing our
reunions, | have decided to post
