tor Collins of Duck Creek has not got the
vim, and DIR. b. L. Lewis has the only
crest in Kent county that will pass muster.

Biggs accept an invitation for such ride
inside of two years, it is very important tC

order we will outline n little of their work

fail in that then they will waste their am
munition in putting each other on recor'
