A fellow of rather good looking appearance, ready tongue and a powerful memory, calling himself “Dr. Wilson,” came among us a few days ago and left for parts unknown. His landlord would like for him to remit $25 board bill; several of our merchants would also feel gratified if Wilson’s memory would serve him, as they are not disposed to credit a man who is going to Texas – especially if the account had to run as long and as fast as the man that made it! Come back, come back across the stormy road, and pay Doctor Black your board.
