on his knee, his wife left the table repaired to

"sundown." which had been bought and trim
med for the little daughter aforesaid. No soon
er had the ''sundown" appeared than there was
daughter down too-she getting down from
her fathers knee to Ego for" the "sundown."

friend WAS pleasantly employed in munching
mouthful of bread and meat which had been
| baked from -four and cut from a ham bought
from our enterprisine merchant friend, NJ. L.
Oatman, who supplies his customers with the
best -four and choicest groceries brought to
| this place, and does it at such low prices that
everybody is pleased and all sure to go and
buy from him again. II you appreciate such
