A NELSON NONENTITY.
A Pro-Chow
Helps to Starve His Mother.
There are some people m this world who are devoid of all sen^e of philopaientism, and such a coot is to he found m; Nelson m the person of Robert White, hairdresser and tobacconist, m Bridge Street. This unworthy son has an. aged mother residing' a few doors from bim, and the po 0 r old lady's sole means of existence is the proceeds of, a small fruit shop," which is to be' 'found open early and late. Her barber son recently caused to he er.jcted to his order a fine big new building close to where his mother lives, and horrible to relate he could not think of letting anyone else ha-.e it except a dirty yellow* Chow named Tack Lock, who bas set up a fruiterer's business m opposition to White's mother. The -'iccy Chow has a ten years' lease of the premises at £1- per week, and like all other Chows he is able to subsist on next, to nothing, and .he can cut the feet from under his white opponents. This paper hopes to find that the worthy people of Nelson will prove themselves Britishers throusrh and throuch, and (hit they will religiously taboo Tack Lock, and also his fniend,' White tlie barber.
