beside his hotel, 24N3o feet, which,
when completed, will be used for a
billiard ball and sample room.

report them all.

stock of harness, a fine line of trunks

doing good, square businesf, and de-

to supply this demand. One more
house has just been added. f. w.

The sociable given by the ladies OF
the NJ. +. Church, on Wednesday
evening, at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. Whitley, was very success
full affair. Quite large number were
present in the early part of the even

The time passed away in pleasant,
social intercourse, interspersed with
music and readings. The serving OF

time and was duly enjoyed by the
numerous guests. Of course the ladies
did not forget to pass the hat, and
amounts in the church treasury have
been considerably increased.
