we are advised that letters
and notifications accumulate. midi
catlng a very large attendance at
the Association, which meets at the
baptist Church, in this city, Nov
loth, Some of our good home-oueens
may have to divide out the straw
and feather-beds and mattresses to
make room, but they'd never know
the joys of hospitality, if it cost
them no trouble. With a hearty
welcome and pallet on the floor,
we always could enjoy more and
sleep better, than when coldly con-
Quoted to splendid apartments,
where the prevalence of starch so
stlttened the host and everything
about that the guests were afraid
to move lest they'd break some
thing or somebody. A light heart
and warm welcome are the best
end of all true hospitality.

Last week we printed 2, 4OOcopies
and were short of the demand, and
this week we were obliged to get
out an edition of $500 to reach all
new subscribers. In this we are
most happily disappointed AS
many of our short-time subscrip-
tons are now expiring, we hesita-
ted to announce this advance, but
We are glad to know that, so far,
the renewals and new subscriptions
as yet outnumber the short-time
names dropped. We hope this will
50 continue-let our friends see that
it does continue.
Fourteen months now for $3.50,
Or 25-cent-trial till the end of the
year. Let no temperance man es-
cape
