And once in a white some ugly sou of-a-gun of a dead-beat takes the paper for a year and without paying for it orders tho postmaster to send it back, or skips the country; that is anarchy, but justice later on will overtake the last mentioned crea tures, for there is a place where they will get tlieir just deserts t bat- well, it’s an uncomfortably hot location when tbe fire is kept woll stirred up.—Ex. A gentleman traveling in Texas met on the road a wagon drawn by a countryman, who, in addititon to the ekillfufflourish and crack of his whip, was vociferously encouraging his horned horses after this fashion: “Haw Presbyterian 1” “Geo Bap tist !” “Whoa Episcopalian 1” “Get up, Methodist!” Tho traveler stop ped tho driver, remarking to him that he had strange names for oxen, ho would like to know why ho thus called them. “I call this ox Presby terian because he is true blue and nover fails to hold out to tho end, besides ho knows more than tho rest. 1 call this one Baptist because he is always after water, and seems as though he’d never get drink enough and then ho won’t eat with tho others. I call this ox Episcopalian because bo has a mighty way holding his head up and if the yoke gets a lil tie too tight, he tries to kick and draw clear out the track. I call this ox- Methodist because he puffs and blows as ho goes along, and you would think he was pulling all creation but not a pound unless you continually stir him up.” When you come to Macon call on us, you will rind bar gains, Eads, Neel and Go « 9 Clothiers, Hatters and Fur nishers.
