Note that we have for rent the
James Burke place he lately bought of
Will Cox. He expected to occupy,
but the last few days have develop ed
matters that will require him to go

hates to leave when he sees both the
old parties adopting his political views
of twenty years ago. And he feels
the people will never regr<t their
adoption as it is their only salvation
In fact subscriber sends us a page
of cartoons from a maRszire on the
political situation, that arc exac
copies OF cartoons in the days o
sockless Jerry Simpson. But to.da.
they are alright for the old partie
