Napoleon No Longer With Us

The editor sold Napoleon
Bonaparte this week to gentle
man of West Virginia, for a very
reasonable price, but not as
much as he is worth. He did not
suit-was too swift on foot for
the ladies to drive, and too high
strung. He is fine colt, a great
saddler as well as fine work
horse, and he was parted with
reluctantly. If properly cared for
and handled he will bring $3.50
next year, when he will be s
years old. Goodbye, Bonaparte,
may you live long and prosper,
and never fling anybody as high
and as hard as you flung this
scribe!
