The Smoke at Knappton
What will you do with them
after they get here? Make slaves of them
for the railroad company? Captains
Flavel and Winant make things hot
and cuss and swear, showing the impossibility
of any hope the city is in need of.
We are better off without this road than
to have it. Wife and family
will attend to orders. Their wishes
may be fulfilled before high twelve tomorrow.
In this way a dozen men running
down the long sand beach
test the matter by practical experiment.
The shield has various devices,
such as frigate, artillery gun, castle,
pushing this good work along.
In fact there are few things but what
we can do, and party effect
is the paramount object in every move.
Truth Beginning to Dawn
The General has promised
all the protection possible, sanguine
that the sheltering branches
of a widespread oak will bear us
witness. But an encounter
with the wild brute gave him
and his dogs a lively tussle.
His physical condition is going
to pieces, compelled to adjourn with
unfinished business on the table.
McCune made report
upon the probability of further
encroachments, if certain steps were not
speedily taken. There is a disposition
on the part of the board to plank
over City Cemetery, and an order
has been issued to that effect.
But the real causes are more deeply
seated. We are to encounter
a year of rather hard times.
Having Concluded to Remain in Business
The wandering Haslett, poor tramp,
had his shirt badly torn. It was very lucky
for him. He is now here, to consider
what replication shall be made. This business
has attained such a magnitude, notwithstanding
all the great precautions always taken.
The proportion which perishes is very serious.
Badolett's force, all there is of it,
must be picked while green
and placed in operation as rapidly as possible.
A class of children from eight
to fifteen years of age will be taught
to avail themselves of boisterous
work with a repeating rifle. Fifty-one
were counted for this purpose
at sunset. We are on the anxious seat
today and beg pardon.
