business. If you give a man a puff,
he never sees it; but let one line
against him appear, and he sees it
before the paper is off the press; and

Saturday evening for the purpose of
doing the fair, visiting old friends
and having a good time generally.

the illness of the postmaster. How

nipped in the bud but two will ever

with a nice little visit at the school
at No. Hyde Park and a pleasant
Journey home. OF course this much
he is very thankful for. He obeyed
the summons and returned to Wood
stock Wednesday morning, prom

he again visited Hyde Park.
