The bridge on the Osterhout road
across Elk creek is about completed.
That stone abutment, the work of
Flynn & Maloney, is an excellent
piece of work, and looks as though
destined to last for ages, and how

tables and seats, and otherwise defaced
the picnic ground before the Catholic
picnic took place, should have repri-
mand administered to them tina would
last them all their lives. Boys or men,

society. That they may be caught and
punished as their misdeeds entitle
than. IN ha ,~,,,,tahaI sa tho xusoh Of
