of Mr.. and Mrs. Fossum from this city,
and their many friends wished to show
to them in some manner the high es-
timation in which they are held by all.

sented Mrs. Fossum with a handsome
silver tea service. Mr.. Fossum, on be-

to hold himself and family in kindly
remembrance after his departure as
