tanned a few of their friends last Wednes.
day evening in royal style. An interest
ing feature of the evening was the reading
of several letters by MISS Gertle Ellis.
from her sisters, now in England. They
gave very interesting descriptions of their
voyage and of the sights in England.
Their voyage was quite interesting, giving
! them a thorough experience OF sea sick
ness; also giving them a view of the ocean
in calm. IN storm, clear and with dense
fog. They are now enjoying themselves
in England, and expect to set sail fol
home Sept. 10. We wish them con
tinuation Of their present enjoymentt
while in Europe, and a pleasant voyage
home.
And now our editorial friends Of the
Spring Valley Vidcttc and LIE Roy indie
pendent have got at each other. ''Veri
tas" in the Vidette says that it is publicly
stated that Editor Mcknight of the indie
pendent electioneered in the town Of Ben
nington with key of whisky, in favor o.
issuing bonds to the WInona and South
western. Mcknight says "almost ever,
syllable of the letter is malicious libel.
He" Wan Luevan) evidently wants Vi
to cowhide him or else have HIM arrested
for libel; however we don't treat our yer
min in that way" The boys do not seen
inclined to be too careful of each Others
feelings. We would suggest that they
are setting bad example to outsiders, by
getting off such choice expressions OF
numbers of the fraternity. Try not tt
do 1t often. -, 81 +.
