1t seems to be practically certain that Fitz-
gerald will celebrate the glorious Fourth IN
grand old style.
Today is sale day at Irwinville and several
of our citizens will cover the twenty-five miles
there and back through the hot June sun.
delightful outing indeed, trip to that dear

The bicycle robbers are abroad IN the lana
again. It may be that it will be necessary to
adopt the old horse thief penalty out in the wild

new counties will be formed, shy this one at
them with the request that they pin 1t IN their

The local opposition to the new counties of
Tiff Henderson and Northen has about petered

offered by the railroads to very able lawyers; that
he had taken more cases against the railroad
than any other big lawyer in the state, and that

to be showed" AS to Pope Brown, we are
agreed he is all right and if he could be elected
governor we would have conscientious ex&cu.
