bis devastating march, ordering that the
torch be put to the pile. hat power broke
that sword, and staved fchai reel scourge or
cruel tv that was rolling over Europe? The
aword’of Thoodoric and Acuus.
To come down to later ages, all intelligent
E iglishmen unite with all intelligent Amer
ica sin that it was the best thing
that the American col nies swung off trom
the government of Great Britain. It would
have been the worst absurdity of four th u
sand years if this continent should have
continued in loyalty to a throne on the
other side of t .'e sea. No one w mid p -opose
, governor general for the United States
as there is a governor general for Canada.
We have hail splendid queens in our Ameri
can capitol, but we could hardiy be brought
to support a oueen ou the other side of the
Atlantic, lovely and good as Victoria is.
The only use we have for earls a id 1 >rds
and and .kes in this country is, to treat them
■wetl when they pass througa to kaeir
hunting gr u ids in the far west, or
wren their fortunes have failed, re
inforce them by wealthy matrimonial
alliance. Imagine this nation yet a
part of Englisa possessions! The trouble
the mother country has t -day with Ireland
would be a paradisaic condition compared
with the tro ible she would have with us.
England and the United States make excel
lent neighbors, but the two families are too
large to live in the same house. What a
godsend that we should have parted, and
parted long ago! But I can thi k of no
other way in which we could have possi
bly achieved American independence.
Georee the Third, the half-c.azy king,
would not have iet us go. Lord
North, his prime minister, would not have
let us go. General Lord Cornwallis
would not have let us go, although after
Yorktown he was glad enough to have us
let him go. Lexington, and Bunker Hill,
and Monmouth, and Trenton, and Valley
Forge, were proofs positive that they were
not Willing to let us go. Any committee of
Americans going across the ocean to see
■what couid hove been done would have
found no better accommodations than
London Tower. The only way it could have
bee t done was by the sword, your great
grandfather’s sword. Jefferson’s pen could
write the declaration of independence, but
only sword could have
achieved it, and the other swords bathed in
heaven.
So now the sword has its uses, although it
is a sheathed sword. There is not an arm
ory in Brooklyn, or New' York, or Phila
delphia, or Chicago, or Charleston, or New
Orleans, or any American city, that could
be spared. We have in all our American
cities a ruffian population who, though they
are small in number compared with the
good population, would again aud again
maks rough and stormy times if, back of
our mayors and common councils and po
lice, there were not in the armories and ar
senals some keen steel which, if brought
into play, would make quick work
with mobocracy. There are iu every
great community unprincipled men who
like a row on a large scale, and they heat
themselves with sour mash and old rye and
other decoctions, enriched with blue vitriol,
potash, turpentine, igar of lead, sulphuric
acid, logwood, stryebniue, night-shale and
other precious ingredients, and take down a
whole gla-s with a resounding “Ah!” of sat
isfaction. When they get that stuff in them,
and the blue vitriol collides with the potash,
and tue turpentine with the sulphuric acid,
the victims are ready for anything but
order and decency and good government.
Again and again, in our American cities,
has the necessity of home guards been
deuionstra edL
You remember how, when the soldiers
were alt away to the war in 1863-4, what
conflagrations were kindled in the streets of
New York, and what negroes were hung.
Some of you remember tne great riots in
Phiiadeli. hia at fires, sometimes kindled
jus: for the opportunity of uproar and
de p nation. In 1849 a hiss at a theater
wruld hare resulted in New York city
being demolished had it not been for the
ctuxea soldiery. Because of an insult
which the American actor Edwin Forrest
had received in England from the
friends of Mr. Mae ready, the English
meter, when the latter appeared in
New York, in Macbeth,.the distinguished
F • tan was hissed and mobbed, the
wall of the city navmg beeu placarded
with the announcement: “Shall Americans
or English rule in ttis city?” Streets were
filled with a crowd insane with passion.
The riot act was read, but it only evoked
loader yells and heavier volleys of stones,
and the whole city was threatened with
violence and assassination. But the Seventh
regiment, under Gen. Duryea, marched
through Broadway, preceded by
mounted troops, and at the com
mand: “Fire! Guards! Fire!” the
mob scattered, and New York was
saved. What would have become of Chi
cago two or three years ago, when the polios
lay dead in the streets, had not the sharp
command of military officers been given.
Do not charge such scenes upon American
institutions They are as old as the Ephe
sian mob that howled for two hours in
Paul’s time about the theatre, amid the
ruins of which Ist >od last January. They
were witnessed in 1675 ii London when the
■weavers paraded the streets and entered
building to destroy the machinery of those
•who, because of their new inventions,
would undersell the rest. They
were witnessed in 1781 at the
trial of Lord George Gordon, when there
was a religious riot. Again, in 1719, when
the rabble cried: “Doan with the Presby
terians! Down with the meeting-house ri”
There always have been, and always will be,
in great communities, a class of people that
cannot govern themselves and which ordi
nary means cannot govern, and there are
exigencies which nothing but the sword can
meet. Aye, the militia are the very last
regiments that it will be safe to disband.
Arbitrament will take the place of war
between nation and nation, and national
armies will disband as a consequence, and
the time will come—God hasten itl—when
there will be no need of an American army
or navy, or a Russian army or navy. But
some time af.er that, cities will have to
keep their armories and arsenals, and well
drilled militia, because, uDtil the millennial
day. there will be populations with whom
arbitrament will be as impossible as treaty
with a cavern of hyenas or a
juogle of snakes. These men who
rob stores and give garroter’s hug, and
prowl about the wharves at midnight, and
rattle the dice in gambling-hells, and go
armed with pistol and dirk, wifi refrain
from disturbance of the public peace just in
proportion as they realize that the militia
of a city, instead of being an awkward
squad, and in danger of shooting each other
by mistake, or losing their own life by
looking down into the gun barrel to see
if it is loaded, or getting the rararoad fast
in their boot leg, are prompt as the sunrise,
keen as the north wind, potent as a thunder
bolt, and accurate, and regular, and dis
ciplined, in their movements as the plane
tary system. Well done, then, I say
to legislatures, and governors and
mayors, and all officials who decide upon
larger armories, and better places for drill,
and more generous equipme it for the
militia. The sooner the sword can safety
fo back to the scabbard to stay there the
etter; but until the hilt clangs against the
case in that final lodgment, let the sword be
kept free from rust ; sharp all along the
edge, and its point like a needle, and the
haul:* polished, not only by the chamois of
the regimental servant, but by the hand of
brave and patriotic officers,"always ready
to and > their full duty. Such swords are not
bathed in impetuosity, or bathed in cruelty,
or bathed in oppression, or bathed in out
rage, but bathed in heaven.
Bef re 1 speak of the doom of the sword,
let me also say that it has developed the
K r an natures that the world ever saw.
It has developed courage—that sublime en
ergy of the soul which defies the universe
when it feels itself to be in the right. It has
developed a seli'-sacrifice which repudiates
the idea that our life is worth more than
anything else, when for a principle it
throws that life away, as much as to say
It is not necessary that I live, but
it is ce essary that righteousness
triumph. There are tens of thousands
otnong the northern and southern
veterans of our civil war, who are ninoty
five per cent, larger and mightier in soul,
than tLey would nave bee i had they not,
during the four years of national agony,
turned their back on home and fortune, and
at the front sacrificed all for a principle. It
was t e sword which on the northern side
developed a Grant, a McCle.lau, a
Hooker, a Hancock, a Snernaa, a
Sheridan, and Admirals Farragut and
Porter, and on the southern side a Lee, a
Jackson, a Hill, a Gordon and the John
stons Albert Sydney and Joseph E., and
Ad.mral Semmes, and many feae.-als and
confederates wh se graves in national ceme
teries are marked “Unknown,” yet who
were just as self-sacrificing and brave as
any of their major genera s,- and whose
resting places all up and down the banks of
the Androsc ggin, the Hod-on, the Poto
mac, the Mississippi and the Alabama, have
recently been snowed under with white
flowers typical of resurrection, and strewn
with red flowers commemorative of the
carnage through wbi h they passed, and
the blue flowers illustrative of the skiei
through which they ascended.
But the sword is doomed. There is one
w rd that needs to be written in every
throne room, in every war office, in every
navy yard, in every national council. That
word Is disarmament. But no government
can afford to throw its sword away until all
the great governments have agreed to do
the same. Through the Influence of the
recent convention of North and South
American government at Washington, aud
through the peace convention to be held
next July in Lo .don, and other movements
in which prime ministers, and kings,
and queens, and sultans, and czars snail
take part, all civilized nations will come to
disarmament, and if a few barbarian races
decline to quit war, then all the decent na
tions will se id out a force of continental
police to wipe out from the face cf the
earth the miscreants. But until disarma
ment aud consequent arbitration shall be
agreed to by all the great governments,
any single government that dismantles its
fortresses, and spikes its guns, and breaks
its sword, would simply invite its own de
struction. Suppose, before such general
agreement, England sh uli throw away
her sword; think you France has for
gotten Waterloo? Suppose before such
general agreement Germany should
throw away her sword; how long
would Alsace and Lorraine stay
as they are? Suppose the Czar of Russ.a
before any such general agreement should
throwaway his sword; ail the eagles and
vultures and lions of European power would
gather for a piece of the Russian bear.
Suppose the United States without any such
general agreement of disarmament should
throw away her sword; it would not belong
before the Narrows of our narb ir would be
ablsze with the bunting of foreign navies
coming here to show the folly of the “Mon
roe Doctrine.”
Side by side the two movenrents must go.
Complete armament until all agree to dis
armament. At the same command of
“Halt!” all nations halting. At t.e same
command of “Ground arms!” all muskets
thumping. At the same command of
“Break ranks!” all armies disbanding.
That may be nearer than you think. The
standing army is the nightmare of nations.
England wants to get rid of it, Germany is
being eaten up by it,, Russia is almost taxed
to death wirh it. Suppose that the millions
of men belonging to tue standing armies of
the world and in absolute idleness, for the
most part of their lives, should become
producers, instead of consumers. Would
not the world’s prosperity improve,
and the world’s morals be better? Or have
you the heathenish idea that war is neces
sary to kill off the surplus populations of
the earth, and that without it the world
would be so crowded there would soon be
no reserved seats aud even the standing
room would be exhausted? Ah! 1 think we
can trust to the pneum raias, a id the con
sumptions, and the fevers, and the Russian
grippes to kill the people fast enough. Be
st ie that, when the world gets too full God
will blow up the whole concern and start
another world and abetter ona Besides
that, war kills the people who can least be
spared. It takes the pick of the nations.
Those whom we could easily spare to go
to the front are in the penitentiary,
and their duties detain them in that
limited sphere. No; it is the public spirited
and the valorous who go out to die. Mostly
are they young men. If they were aged,
and had only five or ten years at the most
to live, the sacrifice would not be so great.
But it is those who have forty or fifty years
to live who step into the jaws of battle.
In our war Col. Ellsworth, fell whilo yet a
mere lad. Renowned McPherson was
only 35. Magnificent Reynolds was
only 44. Hundreds of thousands fell
between twenty and thirty years of age. I
looked into the faces of the French and
German troops as they went out to fight at
Sedan and they were for the most part
armies of splendid boys. So in all ages war
has preferred to sacrifice the young. Alex
ander the Great at 33. When war slays the
young it not only takes down that which
they are, but that which they might have
been.
So we are glad at the Isaiabic prophecy
that the time is coming when nation shall
not lift up sword against nation. Indeed,
both swords shall go back into the scabbard
—the sword bathed in heaven and the
sword bathed in hell. In a war in Spain a
soldier went on a skirmishing expedition,
and, ‘ecluded in a bus i, he had the oppor
tunity of shouting a soldier of the other
army, who had strolled away from his te it.
He took aim and dropped him. Running
up to the fallen man he took his knapsack
for spoil, and a letter dropped out
of it, and it turned out to be a letter
signed by his own father; in other
words, he had shot his brother. If the
brotherhood of man be a true doctrine, then
he who shoots another man always shoots
his own brother. What a horror is war and
its cruelties, were well Illustrated when the
Tartars after sweeping tnrough Russia and
Poland, displayed with pride nine great
sacks filled with the right ears of the fallen,
aid when a correspondent of the London
Times, writing of the wounded after the
battle of Sedan, said: “Every moan that
the human voice can utter rose from that
heap of agony, and the cries of ‘water! For
the love of. God, water! A doctor!
a doctor! never ceased.” After war has
wrought such c uelties, how glad
we wi.l be to have the old monster himself
die. Let his dying couch be spread in some
dismantled fortress through which the
stormy winds howl. Give him for a pillow
a battered shield, and let his bed be hard
with the rusted bayonets of the slain.
Cover him with the coarsest blanket that
picket ever wore, and let his only cup be
the bleached bone of one of his war
chargers, and the last taper by his
bedside expire as the midnight blast
sighs into' his ear: “The candle of
the wicked shall be put out.” To
night against the sky of the glori
ous future I see a great blaze. It is a
foundry in full blast. The workmen have
stirred the fires until the furnaces are seven
timei heated. The last wagon load of the
world’s swords has been hauled into the
foundry, and thev are tumbled into the
furnace, and they begin to glow and redden
and melt, and in hissing and sparkling
liquid they roll on down through the crevice
of rock until they fall into a mold shaped
like the iron foot of a nlow. Then the
liquid cools off into a hard metal, and,
brought out on an anvil, it is beaten and
pou ided and fashioned, stroke after stroke,
until that which was a weapon to reap
harvests of men, becomes an implement
turning the soil for harvests of cora, the
sword having become the plowshare.
Officers and comrades of the Thirteenth
regiment of state militia: After another
year of pleasant acquaintance I hail you
with a salutation all made up of good wishes
and prayers. Honored with residence in
the be-t city of the best land under the sun,
let us dedicate ourselves anew to God and
country, and home! In the English conflict
called “the War of the Roses,” a white rose
was the badge of the house of York, and
the red rose the badge of the house of Lan
caster, and with these two colors they op
posed each other in battle. To enlist you in
the holy war for all that is good against all
that is wrong, I pin over your heart two
badges, the one suggestive o"f the blood shed
for our redemption, and the other syinbolio

Notes and Gossip.
It is said that Buffin on war better liked
as the m mager of the Philadelphia brother
hood club than Jim Fogarty.
Capt. Anson don’t allow any of his play
ers to loiter about. He hurries them on and
off tbe field and keeps them constantly on
the move.
No withstanding the report that the
American Buffalo is nearly extinct, nine
very lively animals were seen at Boston
Thursday.
Capt. Ned Hanlon of the Pittsburg IP. L.)
team attributes the p or showing of bis
club to the high living of his players.—-Veto
York World.
It is said that John I. Rogers and A1
Reach ot the league held a con fare ace with
Messrs. Johnson, Elliott and Wagner of the
brotherhood in Philadelphia a few days
ago-
The Central Board of Directors of the
Piayer’s League held a consultation in New
York Friday night. It was decide! not to
change the schedule. No other business
was done.
John Irwin’s South Boston friends remem
bered him very scentingiy. When he came
to the plate for the first time Thursday,- he
was forced to uncover in recognition of a
beautiful floral horso3hoe.
The receipts of Thursday’s game between
the Philadelphia and Chicago Players’
L 'ague clubs were for the benefit of Harry
Wright, manager of the Philadelphia
League clnb, who is at present suffering
from an affliction that threatens the total
loss of his eyesight.
The deal between Dunlap and the local
brotherhood team is off. Dunlap declined
to sign without a two years’ guarantee.
Dunny went home yesterday. It was
rumored last night that the Boston league
people were thinking of doing business with
Dunlap. —New York Star.
Jake Kilrain, the pugilist, passed through
Cincinnati Wednesday night en route for
New York. He stopped two hours at the
Grand Central depot. Kilrain looks well,
and is fat. He says he was treated like a
pri ice in Mississippi. He also expressed the
belief that Sullivan was the hardest hitter
in the world.
At New Haven Friday, the New Havens
and Baltimore go on record for having put
up the stiffest game of base ball ever seen
on a New Haven diamond. For fourteen
innings tbe opposing nines battled for su
premacy, and as neither club having scored
at7:ls p. m., Umpire Kelly called the game
on account of darkness. It was'really a
battle of pitchers.
The Troup Square and Eagle clubs played
a game in the western portion of the city
yesterday, and before the first inning was
fluistied the Troup club piled up six runs.
A mounted policeman put in an appearance,
looking for “crap shooters," and the Eagles
left the field on a quick run, and stayed
away so long that the Troups claimed the
game. The Eagles “kicked,” but when
asked the reason why they would not play
they gave none, and the stakes wero awarded
the Troups. The Eagles went to the bat
with the determination of knocking out
their opponents, but in the end were scooped,
and were dubbed “bald-headed Eagles.”
Philips aud Word were the batteries for the
defeated nine, and Cummings aud Schreck
were the batteries for the Troups. Schreck
is a first-class catcher, and has won some
reputation ou the Schwarz tine, which
played the New York team here in April.

SWEAT FAVORS NORTHENT
And Talks About Waycross in the
Reporter.
Col. J. L. Sweat of Waycross was inter
viewed by the Reporter of that city a day
ortwoogi, Speaking of the candidate for
the democratic nomination for governor he
said:
“I havelong thought Hon. W. J. Northen
would be nominated. I have served in the
state legislature and in conventions with
him, ami know him to be not only au able,
pure statesman, but painstaking, safe and
reliable in whatever he promises to do or
undertakes.
“How about our next senator aad repre
sentative iu the legislature?"
“I have heard of uo avowed candidates
for either place, but think our best men
should be selected. The senator, of course,
will bo taken from Coffee this time, aud I
doubt not the wisdom of a senatorial con
vention, composed, as heretofore, of twenty
good men from each of the three counties,
will make a wise choice, and so with refer
ence to a county convention or primary
election in the nomination of a representa
tive.”
“What about the First district congress
man ?”
“Col. Lr.ter possesses the qualities to
make us the most popular member among
his colleagues we have ever had in congress,
and in advancing the material interests of
the.distr.ct will accomplish more, as he is
doing, than has ever been done for us here
tofore, and as it is an unwritten law of our
district to give a faithful member at least
two terms, he s ould be returned without
opposition in tho party, and this lam sure
will be done.”
"Do you think Judge Atkinson will be
re-elected without opposition?”
“Most assuredly Ido; audit is due him
as well as the circuit that be should be.”
"Will Gov. Gordon succeed Senator
Brown?”
“I think so.”
“Well, colonel, have you anything to say
concerning the future prosperity of Way
cross?”
“That is an inexhaustible theme with tne;
one I never tire talking on, and something
for which it is a la.ior of love with me to
work, and this, too, is characteristic of
all our public-spirited citizens, and I think
the time is coming when we won’t have JLuy
o her sort. Marvelous as has been the
growth of Waycro-s from a struggling
town of 2,500 people throe years ago to a
thriving, prosperous city of 5,000 now, our
improvement as now assured for the next
few years will be far more wonderful.”
HOW SPINNER ELECTED BANKS.
A Banquet to tbe Ex-Speaker Which
Recalls tbe Great Contest.
From the Baltimore American.
Washington, May 29. —There was a
reception followed by an elab irate dinner
at the Arlington in Washington this even
ing of the surviving ex-members of the
Thirty-fourth congress who voted for Gen.
Banks for speaker. Gen. Banks has this
term been returned to congress, and renre
seuts the First Massachuse ts district. O.ily
about two dozen of the 103 members are
now alive, but they were not all pre-ent.
Those who did attend were Se iatois John
Sherman and Morrill, Gen. John A. Bing
ham of Ohio, James H. Campbell of Penn
sylvania, Russell Sage, Eiward Dodd and
O. T. Flagler of New York, C. C. Chaffee
of Massachusetts, Sidney Dean of
Connecticut John J. Perry of
Maine, and Earin H. Cragin of New Hamp
shire and myself. The other members who
could not come * ere Gen. Francis E. Spin
ier of New York, James Bishop of New
Jersey, ex-speaker Lucia A. Grow of Penn
sylvaui c Jo eph Pike of New Hampshire,
O. L. Knapp and L. B. Coming of Massa
chusetts, J. J. Pearce of Pennsylvania, Guy
R. Pelton of Ne w York. James S. T. Stran
aban of Brooklyn, and Rufus King of New
York. Of the lu3 members who voted for
Gen. Binks thirty-five years ago. only
twenty-two are livi ig to tell the taie. Nearly
all the survivors of the Ttiirty-fourth con
gress b tve taken a prominent part in mak
ing the history of the country. Most of
them, in one way or another, have con
tinued to attract' public attention, and,
with few exceptions, they are all hale and
hearty as old men go.
Of those who still survive none outside of
congress are better known than Gen. Spin
ner, President Lincoln’s treasurer—the man
of ibe famous signature. Gen. Spinner,
who is now dying at his home in Florida,
was the man who practically elected banks,
aud he regards it tbe greatest act of his life.
In a lettor written two years ago to the sur
vivors of .the Thirty-fourth congress meet
ing then, as to-night, Gen. Spinner wrote:
“I was tbe only raembe of that congress
who had beea nominated and elected to it
by the regular organization of th 9 Demo
cratic party who voted for Banks.
“Being an out-and-out free-soiler, and
hence strongly opposed to the extension of
slavery into free territory, I refused to at
tend the democratic caucus for the nomina
tion of the officers of the House, and, thus,
was left free to vote for the anti-slavery
extension man for speaker. For obvious
reasons I declined to attend the caucus of
the opposing party.
“After the nomination of Gen. Banks for
speaker I refused to go to his room, al
though I passed his door at Willard’s, where
we both lived, many times every day dur
ing the two-month’s struggle for the elec
tion of a speaker. For a ume I voted with
several ar ti-slavery extension democrats for
speaker, but finally joined those who voted
for Banks.
“On the night of Feb. 1, when Gov. Aiken
had received three m ire votes that) were
cast for Batiks, and when it was evident
that the plurality resolution would be
ad pted in tbe morning, in coming from
my room late in the evening to mad ray
letters, I came in contact with a number of
our friends near the door of Gen. Banks’
room. Edwin B. Morgan, a member from
the Cayuga district of New York, urged me
to go to Mr. Banks’ room. I declined, but
was overpowered by four or five other
members from our state, who rushed me
into Banks’ room. I found there was
evidently a conference of a number
of members who had for so long
a time voted for Banks for speaker.
Stanton of Ohio had the floor.
He ceased speaking, and after order
was resumed, said: ‘As I have just stated,
some of us chink that Mr. Banks should
decline to be a candidate, aud should name
thq, candidate to be supported on to-mor
row.’ I was aroused at once to the threat
ening danger. I k;few enough of tactici to
see the danger of changing front in the face
of tbe enemy. The thought of coming de
feat made me very angry, aud I cried out,
‘Let come what will, let who vote for whom
he will, as for me, so help me God, 1 shall
vote for Nathoniel P. Banks until a speaker
is elected!’ Then Ifcrced my way out and
slammed the door after me with a bang.”
The rest is known. Geu. Spinner’s bold
stand crushed the rebellion rising against
Banks among his own friends. The next
day he was elected.

Adopted by the Congregation of First Pres
byterian Church Yesterday.
Whereas, The resignation of our pastor.
Rev. J. W. Hogan, has been tendered to us to
day. and that
Whereas, Tbe reasons for his resignation are
such that we cannot oppose them, viz.: the
health ot his family; therefore be it
Resolved 1. That we as a Church and Congre
gation do unite with Mr. Kogan in petitioning
the Presbytery to grant the desired dissolution;
2. That the thanks of this Church aud Con
gregation are due and hereby tendered to the
Rev. J. W. Rogau for his untiring interest and
unceasing zeal he has always displayed towand
this Church;
3. That it is with pain and regret that we are
compelled to part with one who has endeared
hirnse f to the hearts of his people, and one who
has labored so faithfully, so efficiently and so
successfully among us as a Church for five
years, and thus in losing our pastor we lose a
friend whoso place it will be difficult to fill;
4. That in parting we prayeriully commend
both him and his to the care of an all wise
Providence, and God grant that the health he
goes in quest of may be found in his new heme;
5. That a copy of this preamble and these
resolutions be sent to Mr. Rogan and published
in the daily papers of tne city.

HAVE YOU BEEX TO SEE
Those three houses on Habersham and Henry
streets, recently built by the Title Guarantee
Company, and for sale on a small cash pay
ment and monthly installments’ These houses
are well built (not ‘‘built to sell"), are marvels
of neatness and convenience, and iu a splendid
neighborhood. "’Twas not always thus ’ that
the matter of getting a home was made so
easy. If these inducements, made ready to us
by others, be neglect and, are we not recreant to
our duty to those intrusted to our care?
The houses referred to are in charge of a
janitor, and are always open for inspection. It
will cost nothin' to inspect them, and to ask
for additional information, either iu person or
by postal card, from C. H. DORSET!,

THERE IS MOJIE k IN LAND.
Invest at Home and Realize Sooner.
In a city like this, where capital has accumu

other communities. While these places doubt
less afford opportunities for money making, as
good and better chances exist in our midst,
where we can watch and in a measure control
them. There are large profits to be bad out of
THE 95 0 ACRZS OF COUNTY LANDS
Which I am now offering, with unusual trans

safely neglect a careful investigation into this
extraordinary opportunity.
