jured in the head by running into DR..
Gordons buggy is worse again, and only
the most careful treatment will insure his

D9Every day Lynde street,near Wells.
is filled with hay teams. and much of the
load gets loose around the street and in
some instances loaded teams have re-
manned over night 10 the street. This is
dangerous, as a spark from cigar might
ignite the material and cause fire which
would prove disastrous to surrounding
property. The authorities should sec to
this and not allow carelessness of this kind
to continue. The safety of property
demands the enforcement of the law.

so the members at once surrendered and

sociSbes of the season. After the usua
time spent in conversation the ladies in
vited the members of the lodge to grand
collation. which had been spread for the
occasion. 1t was one of the most complete
surprise parties of the year, and heartily
appreciated by all who were present.
