It is certainly wrong to ask his

cause hits received a severe blow in j
the house of her friends, and if he

Suppose (and Mr. (tuerry will
pardon me for this supposition)
I Unit three years ago, when Mr.
Uuerry wus canvassing the State
for himself and temperance, some
one should have asked him if he
did not own an interest in the bar

lie should have replied “That he
did, but he gave away all the pro

would have been an answer that

Upon inquiry it was ascertained
that these statements were true and
that it, was further true that Mr.
Smith was one of the charter men
