and touching manner.
MFR. and Mrs. Olmstead, of viii.

took advantage of the fine sleighing
and drove all the way from Williams.
port to this place, returning on Monday.
Miss Salle Burnside gave very de-
liphtful and somewhat novel leap year
party on Monday night. The young
ladies were compelled to invite and call

Mr.. "Witt" Meyer, former excel.

and now employed on the Philipsburg
