Bill Dotson, after paying a fine
of $15 and cost last week for dis

had belter quit this way of doing

then the “jig” would be up with

There is a man who married a

the husband carries home a sack
full of grub of all kinds of good
things, she refuses to cook them
and calls him every thing he says,
except a white man. So ho
has decided to live under a differ

will not beat as one any longer.
