Another Slur on Nubbin Ridge. Morocco Courier.

A Rensselaer editor went out the other day to find some delinquent subscribers np in central Nubbin Ridge. He visited a house where he says he found “the husband chewing tobacco and spitting on the stove. The wife was busy skinning a rooster she had just killed. The baby sat on the bare floor, clad in a calico wrapper, with the accumulated dirt and grease of a long drouth on its faoe, whining in a loud sonorous voioe. The dog stood with his forepaws on the window barking lustily at a cow in the front yard. The cat bad just succeeded, after a vigorous and protracted effort, in coughing up the head of a rooster.” The editor did not linger, but went his tgay remarking, “Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.”
