The carrying of concealed weapons, whether pistols on the highway or bot tles of whiskey or wine to social gath erings is a growing evil and should be suppressed either by legislation or by united action of young ladies in refusing to recognize any young man whose breath is tainted with the ardent, or any deodorizing aromatic catichee. The denizens of a certain locality can now rest in peace as Mr. .Jefferson has sent Walker over the river.
