The meetings we're, in the main,
we'll attended, and the audiences were
attentive and enthusiastic. Banners
decorated and drum corps enlivened
the gatherings; and it must be said
for the young men that they gave fair
promise of good and useful work in
the future. The disaster that over
took us is not to be laid to the
charge of the persons named, who
through darkness and storm met every
appointment, and by their presence
made the meetings successful. They
worked cheerfully and enthusiastically
and are entitled to the support and
consideration of our people. Two
years preparation will still more fit
them to battle in the campaign of
1896, and to deserve the victory
which will then perch upon our
banners.

jaw while gsping. Others considered,
there seems to be something unusual
the matter with this woman's jaw.
When taken to the hospital where
her case was properly diagnosed, it
was suggested as means to prevent
the danger of lockjaw that the old
lady be muzzled in such way that
she could take half a cape instead
of whole one in the future. Ladies
with open countenances will please
take warning.
