hoped that they will change the rule to
the old alphabetical system next year.
Hon. Asa Ellis and friend had very
peculiar experience, the other day.
They were out driving and were caught

from the miniature deluge. While snug
gering thus in fancied security Mexi-
can dashed along on fast horse, whip
ped the blanket of the covering pair

gentlemen the full benefit of the down
pour. That Is the last our popular
