in response to the announcement that
the Street and Sewer Commission
would give employment to $50 oil

Gray that there would be two jobs
waiting for every man If Cleveland
should be elected President. They

velopment OF the fact that 1t will be
almost impossible to reconcile the
differences among the Democratic

When our sister church's people can

can't WEI since we heard and saw
what display was given at Stanton

the young men must be over there
that they have to call upon Friend
Love before they think their program
complete. We think the music is
worthy OF all praise given 1t. but the
opening piece. Columbian Overture,
seemed to please the audience quite
as well as the other pieces. but oil
lovers OF fantastic toe music were
more delighted with the waltzes and
Cadet march.
