week in the door yard of we editors
residence, but has as yet eluded all
efforts which have been made to as
sassmate him.-Index.
The easiest way to get rid of that
snake is to have another town well in
front of the Index office.

Aperson entering the Presbyterian
church at this time will be struck a
once with the wonderful transforma
ton that has taken place inside. TIL,

Kimball are paying fully as much ft
