ander's prosperity and success.
1t is better to know less than TO know
so much that isn't true. For instance,
the Courier of last week, when it spoke
about the rapidity with which that new
machinery was being placed in Wise q
Tuckey's mill, when the truth was that
not single piece of their machinery
had been received, and it is not eX-
pected for week or ten days to come.
The young ladies republican club
and the young gentlemen's flambeau
club had Joint drill the other evening
Both clubs did admirably, but the boys
would have kept straighter line il
they had paid just a little more atten-
tion to the commands of their drill
master and just little less to the girls.
We know the temptation is strong,
boys, but try To resist it.

announcement of his coming is all that
would be needed to secure him good
houses. He is ably supported by Miss
Hattie Rowell, his leading lady.
