—The Deacon objects to such local items

—A young man who wanted to show his

number. But what we want to call atten
tion to is the met that the henee in which
this social took place is, perhaps, the old
est building now standing in this city. It
was built in the mil of 1868 and is there

readers to the cards in another column of

torney will do well to call on either of the
above gentlemen. We hare quit advising
folks to go to law, but then in the present
depraved state of the human family, hu
mans will get by the ears, and in suoh ca
ses need friends to hold their pomes and
other valuables while they do a little spar
ring in a friendly. In such eases lawyers
become a necessity, for there is nothing like
•kill.

to close out their business, forthwith, and
thereby prevent trouble.
