we wholly unready for war;

Texas and Oregon into this Union, one

"Will you accept?'
Calhoun's answer was first to pick
up paper from his desk. See, here
is the dispatch Mr.. Pakenham brought
from Lord Aberdeen of the British
ministry to Mr.. Upshur just two days
before his death. Judge whether
Aberdeen wants liberty-or territory!
In effect he re-asserts England's right
to interfere in our affairs. We fought
one war to disprove that. England has
said enough on this continent. And
England has meddled enough"

Secretary to Governor
 Demands Five Dollars

While Uncle Sam may be slow in paying, he is pretty smart collector and does not allow any accounts which he may have against individuals or corporations to accumulate.
 This has been exemplifed in the case of Iditarod city.
 Scarcely had the city time to estab- fish an overdrawn bank account than up comes a letter from Secretary. to- the Governor Distin politely pointing out that the sum of 8 due to the gov ernor's office for filing the letters of incorporation had not been forwarded.
 The matter may have been over looked by the city authorities, or the necessity for promptness not realized; hence Mr. Distin's letter.
 The till was empty when the secre- tary's communication arrived, but rather than let the governor worry about the non-arrival of the Five, the city attorney advanced the amount.
 It's great pity the council couldn't have paid by one of those warrants it's so much easier.

Birmingham, Ala, July 3O.-With the killing of Leslie Linn at Sayre by his father-in-law, Alec Brewis, it is feared one of the most serious feuds ever engendered in the mountains of Alabama has been precipitated.
 Four families, including about 20 men, are involved.
 Two years ago Linn won Brewis' daughter against the fathers protests and they finally eloped. Recently the daughter went home, saying Linn had mistreated her. Alec Brewis, accom- panied by his son, John Brewis, went to Linn's home and the tragedy re- suited The Brewises are in jail. Both sides are arming and further trouble is expected.
