wanted the farmers to profit by the
advice given them, and agreed with
those who had preceded him, that
we can be a fire and independent
people if we will only try, and in dxv
ing this we must be certain to “sow
oats,’’ and sow them in quantities.
The train whistled, and the Judge
said it was a good getting out place

them once more to sow oats. Tin

Rev. J. T. Lowe is conducting a

Great interest is expressed. Other

It is very strange that tit® fair sell

for it; but when he Steals V A lady*
there is nothing said. We h:\ve

another theft soon.
Biitrisn Jr stick. —There is no bet*

Prince ot Wales, and had the ablest
counsel in the kingdom; notwith

heJ'ound himself in a felon’s cell in

justice in this country there would In
less crime: but who can wonder at
the increase of crime where justice is

There should lie a well-'org m ‘d Sab
