early spring, ft! the pprposc of reducing

and carried home for the annual soap ma-

only tha men did not 606 it thus.
Speuring asked his mastey what he in-
tended to do himself? He replied that he
would remain and watch over things,
though he did not think they would be

no time to enforce orders when the Union

The woman went away as she came,
with the information that “Mr. Green
could look after his own darkics," from
one of their number. Then the men be-

They only mild, “we have not run to llb-

Mm. Green called on the men to run
