local exchange is question that
only the Imagination can answer.
the prices of stocks keep on ascending
and in some cases have reached figures
which some consider too high. There are

AS usual before the great event there
has been continual hustle by the com

Phetteplace has earned for himself the
reputation of being the biggest pusher

The committee Of the Society for the Pre-

work well. John II. Cong Ion, the chair
man, has done everything in his power to
cooperate with the ball committee.
Among the innovations that will be
found on the program this evening is
one that, IL ~ expected. will work for the
convenience OF all concerned The orches-
ira will be stationed at the east end of
the hall. The chairs in the balcony have
all been taken out, and a platform pro-
Jecting slightly over the floor has been

that this was the better plan so that the

be TO the music OF Company B March,"
