Indian in hot pursuit of jackrabbit,

in that other trite saying, Faint heart

We attended hop at our town hall
Tuesday evening, that for sociability and

such by those who participated in the
pleasures of the evening.

consent to his coming to the house, that
he would in the future abstain from al
intoxicating liquors, and attend churcf
regularly, and Join the same at no dis
