The young ladies Of the village deserve great
credit for the energy they displayed in working
up the church festival last week. Although

there Is not now nor has there been this season,
a single case Of whooping cough or measles in

| thrown up the sponge on the Columbus and
Maysville r. R., and gone to building another

Washington @. H., and they will find good
healthy pulse, and also that our people are
/ ready and willing to do their part in the enter

true and should not be lost sight of by the G.
q NJ. r. r. Company.
