It is rumored, that sjight discrep

Mr. Hubbard is allowing nothing

Miller's friends are staunch In
their maintenance that his account*
in the bank will b?> found in good
condition and. in fact, this appears
to be the g neraT impression among
the citizens of Oriental. If such is
round to be the case, the only cause
that can be given will be that of
