that the testimonial benefit ball to
Mrs. Emerson takes place this evening

all other preparations made to Insure
a complete success in every respect.
This ball Is given by the numerous
friends Of Mrs. Emerson In this town
in order to assist her In the building
Of n new boarding house. She has met
with misfortune at various times BY

officially Informed as to the reason Of
this sudden and extensive raise, but
