Robert Pierce, young man, resident at
kimberley, had on exhibition here
last Tuesday handsomely carved headstone
of Italian marble as sample of his own
workmanship. 1t would bear comparison
with any work of its class. Considering
the fact that Mr.. Pierce has had no regular
training in the art, he has remarkable de-
gree of native talent. We learn he does
quite little business in his line at VIM
berley. The value of this headsome stone
was $50.

Just the thing for confidential communica-

would do for love-making, especially where
the parties are inclined to be bashful. 1t
would be exceedingly awkward to proclaim
ones passion in stentoran tones to pro-
miscuous crowd at either end of the line.

The inaugural address was delivered in
