win, Marvin and Logan, and arrived ut
Edmond about O'Clock in the morning.
Four of our delegates went oyer to Mill
brook in the night, while the balance
waited until morning, at which time
a portion of them went over with d

mond and Alnluook, does not have the
thrifty appearance Of our own county,
