Hugh Connaughton came up from
Atchison, Kansas, on Saturday last,
and surprised many of his old time
friends here, by paying them an unex-

these men are great strapping fellows,
who make regular business of it, and
60 about the residence portion of the
city during the day begging their
meals, and if not successful resort to
petty thieving.

the following deserved compliment:
Last week our most enterprising gro
GERS, Brewer Il Penhallegon, issued in
vitations for coffee drink Friday

/ hot coffee, cake and fancy biscuit, and
the flavor of the coffee pleased people
so much that all of their stock of the
same brand was sold. They intend in
the future to give other parties
