of our oountry to these respects is

both branohee of oongrees, always aid
sd and often guided by our versatile,
Industrious and patriotic president,
whose splendid administration we
most ooi dially endorse.
"With Jost party pride we direct

“I’ve run ’Jockey Comma* for thir

Thereupon the protesting farmers

Simpbon retained the homestead and
the Junctun cf two highways, and,
owlrg to the gooerai sporting procliv

Divorced persons are not socially
