ing arrangements for the appearance of
the above company on Saturday evening,
May 10th, in McClelland block. The

Grandpa Ellington beats them all
hunting squirrels. He shot two the other
day near the creamery; we think they
must have been wanderers from home.
He says he killed 48 with SO shots last fall
in Fayette county, Iowa. He is IS years
of age, and we do not believe many of our
crack sportsmen could do better than that.
May continued health and steady hand
still be among the great blessin gs of this
kindly and genial old gentleman.

day in June, and inaugurated by the NJ.
E. church, to promote love of religious
worship and service among the children
and youth, is rapidly gaining in popular

Her hot lunches, good bread, cakes, ane
pies, are always in demand, either in win
