press representatives were treated most cordially by the officials of the exhibit and my little friend was made judge of the raspberry vinegar homemade wines and things of that sort and as ho had to

the utter profundity of the sarcasm contained therein even though from its very simplicity it is evident to the meanest capacity the description of how to be chdye is only within the compre hension of a few in this town the great majority have not the faintest conception of yonr meanings i could name several of either sex who have passed the necessary examinations for a school teacher who cannot see the drift of your phrases how can ve therefore we the vulgus the igrio- rami of the town know your meaning please explain yourself in your next aud oblige yours truly kes cikrsv now thats the letter and it must have been an immense relief to get it off the writers brain what the writers aiming ttt and what is wanted is not easy to see in the first place this n c querywouldnt n g be a better fit does not state whdt remarks require explanation and mixes his subject up in a pretty bad way if hes unable and incapable of grasping the uttet profnndityvc4 how does he know that its there
