No thanks; 1 , won't say it; prefer to say "our () successful merchant," and after all, *j~ wouldn,t this world be a hit hap3 ] pier if we'd say more good things about our neighbors, and forget the u~ faults more? It would be a sweeter, happier, more pleasant place to live to in, any how. is- S. K, Boxky, Local Editor. | Brown Kelly, a little son of Mr. >s and Mrs. T. E.
