wear at AZ cents. We have not seen q
bushel of local early potatoes in market
yet. Flour does not follow the price of

their better halves would get Il square
meal and thus establish a dangerous
precedent. Our advice to the ladies is
that at the next banquet given by the
+. A. Nj. the wives also order supper
at the expense of their husbands. We
think this would bring them to time
and teach them good manners.

men (no LADIES', and it is unnecessary
to say that they enjoyed the roast tur-
key and its accessories.
