A quack M. D. , that hails from
some place way back in the woods
of old Kaintuck , appeared in town
ihe other evening , fastidiously
dressed in a fringed bucliskin coat ,
top boots and wore a six shooter
which he could handle with in-
reditable ease. Just what con
nection his revolver had with his
medicine we do not know , but one
method is probably about as quick
as the other in relieving one of
their worldly troubles. In the
course of his introductory talk he
said that he would celebrate with
the boys on the Fourth and spend
the rest of the time catshing bass
down on the pond. One of Val
entine's bright youngsters stand
ing" "in the front row finished his
remark by adding : "Yes , and
catching a few suckers in town. "
From the way they bit , he must
have been an excellent disciple of
Isaac Walton. ,
