week, or promulgated more falsehoods
in one editorial than that one, name
it and take the cake.-Inter-Stdte.

After the long and wearing illness

tie one had just completed her third
year and death occurred after an ILL.,
ness of only a week, the disease being
in the nature of diphtheria. The pa

hands and he was asleep. In q mo-
