Little Allie Arnold, of the Poor

Tuesday evening. He was playing
near a large vat of lime that had been
Just drawn off ready for mixing NOR

noticing where he was going and
ran into it, sinking up to his knees in

One of the pleasant social affairs of
the week was the reception given on
Monday evening to Rev. DR.. Hendy,
at the residence of A. E. Wright.
Owing to the threatening weather
i'm the early evening there was not a
large number present, but those who
did attend found that the evening
passed all too rapidly-a complaint
that is frequently heard from those
who have been guests under Mr..
Wright's hospitsble roof.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church will give social in the Park
next Tuesday evening which will
doubtless be most enjoyable affair.
Ice cream and cake will be served, the
grounds will be Illuminated and mu-
sic will be furnished by the cornet
band. Remember the date. If the
evening should be unpleasant the
social will be held in the G. A. r..
Hall.
Now that we are safely over the
Fourth we hope our Fair managers
will begin to bestir themselves. A
celebration is paying investment.
But good fair will be any amount
better. Let the date be settled at once
and then let the premidm list be pub
lished as soon as possible. Humboldt
is already at work. lola can't afford
to be behind.

quires assistance in moving about, but
his improvement has been so great as
to be very gratifying to his friends.

they were mustered out. and had lost
track of one another for years.

don us for reminding them that when
