supposed to be SO clever, there are
some young men who fancy them
selves Infinitely more attractive in
uniform than in their ordinary
clothes. They probably take after
their forefathers back in 1890 and
1880 who paraded before the fair
sex to attract their favor in military
accoutrements. But the Nauvoo girls
have sharp eyes; they do not take
uniform and walks ponderously; in

the officials in Carthage requesting
his aid in suppressing gambling
places and devices, and by the tone

VOC needs a good "face-wash" in sew
eral places. She declares that her
son, who has not yet reached the
age Of eighteen years, is in the habit
Of visiting these dens of sin and de-
posits all his time and earnings. The

them i'm some Of the lines.
