No Such Deacons In Yarmouth.

To the Editor of the Press:
Referring to the item in this morning
paper about two Yarmouth deacons who
were swindled in NewYork by green goods
men, permit me to say that have made
careful inquiry as to those same deacons
and am told over and over again that
no one here knows of any such person,
deacon or otherwise as James Morgan
or j. D. Read in the town of Yarmouth.
Clearly Ex-Chief Drummopd's callers
gave him such names as suited them
at the time. AS to Yarmouth deacons
it is safe to say none of them would
neddle with green goods" knowingly
under any circumstances, and if either
of them ever falls in with green goods
man there will be no occasion for Mr..
Drummond's services. The deacon will
attend to his case alone.
Yours truly,

off we dashed through the snow. Talk
about romance! 1t is a little better
than taking a lady to the theater in
a street car, | assure you. After the
theater we took spin along the river
bank aud as the spirited horses threw
the snow into our faces she exclaimed:
"'lsn't this jolly?'
"You see, she was girl who readily
adapted herself to foreign manners.

drew up about midnight, she turned
