Several years ago there resided in
Snow Hill a young man who Thought
himself little better morally than most
of the yOnng men of the town. and
especially the editors of tine MESSENGER,
for whom he had the utmost contempt,
and of whom he was unsraring of criti-
cism. His politics was purer chan ours
and his moives were everything that
mortal desired. So we trussad him for
81 50 worth of job printing se was
such "a purlst that he evidently Thought
himself exempt from paying his honast
debts, and we still have it charged
against him and our letters requesting
settlement remain unanswered. We
hope if this meets his eye he will bH
honest enough to pay what he owes ",
and thus demonstrate that he is not as
depraved as we think him.
