went rabbit-hunting, west of town to-day
While passing a certain hay-stack, ont
borrowed gun from another. and wen
slipping around the stack. Suddenly hi
raised the gun and fired, then hauled {
rabbit out of the stack. He had made g
good shot-so had some other fellow, fol
the rabbit was as dead as a, Prohibition
ticket, when he first discovered it.. .Jo

Der of the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas

was grand affair. Mr.. Rogers has been
a miner, and was crippled, to some extent,
while at work in the mines, and large

a snug sum of money, and these worthy
people are made thoroughly comfortable
for the winter. Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers GER
tainly have reason to be proud of their
friends.

would come as Pastor of the Christian
