express our thanks to Mr.. Frank M.
Davis, telegraph operator at this place,
for his courtesy in furnishing us with an
early dispatch of the University race at
Saratoga, but by an accident it was left
out The dispatch was received and in
type almost as soon as the people at
Saratoga knew the result, and our late
acknowledgement, in no way detracts
from Mr. Davis promptness and cour-
tesy.

foremerly of St. Agnes school in this
place, died of typhoid pneumonia We'd
nesday of last week after an illness of
about two weeks. She was taken sick

lady of rare intelligence and had wide
circle of friends.
= The address on temperance by Mrs.
Tabor at the Methodist church, last Sun

Of course Mrs. Tabor will have to stand
her hand and must not be surprised if
called upon for more similar work here
after, for the more of such good things
the better.
