kindly excuse it when we state that
the editor was sick in bed and did
not get to read line of proof on
that page. 1t was "made up" in
hurry to be printed in time for the

and Jennie Loar, of Reedsville, for a

Misses Belle and Jennie Loar are two
OF Reedsville's most accomplished
and intelligent yonng ladies, They
are Democrats who are proud Of their
Democracy, and the ARGUS hopes in
the near future TO be able to return
the compliment in an article entitled,
"Orange Blossoms"
