We will put this building in perfect con-
dition so far as cleanliness is concerned,
have cots placed on each floor, with ser
wants to give attention, towels. two bath
tubs, and arrangements for the checking
and proper protection of all garments.
Meals of course, We cannot serve. OF
course, comrades will have TO bring their
blankets. You however will not have
much need of blankets here in September,
and sheets with one thin blanket are all
that will be necessary. We will have
screens pat up at the windows as n pro-
lection against flies and mosquitoes and
we are satisfied you will be much more
comfortable than if you were crowded in
to hotel. We think we can accommo-
date two hundred. which we presume
would be as many as would come from
Maine. We would want, however, the
names of all comrades, so that beds could
be reserved for them and properly as
signed and by timely notice of your arrival
you would be met at the depot and es-
corted to your place. We would also have
a wagon at the depot to convey whatever
luggage you might bring with you These
accommodations will cost you nothing,
and we offer them to you freely, provided
you are willing to accept the inequalities
of an old Confederate soldier, the writer
having served four years in the Confeder-
ate army, but he begs to assure you his
greeting will be as hearty as if he had
fought with you instead of against you. !"

father, man that while living with his
wife Is said to have contributed in no way
to the support of his family and when he
deserted them he stole his son away The
mother finding the law powerless to aid
her adopted tactics similar to those of the
husband and succeeded in Kidnapping the
child in Massachusetts, and bringing him
home Now the father is trying to got
the child back and the neighbors hope
the law will not be able to effect his pur-
pose.
That Naples school fight to be settled
by law must be referred to the law court
and decision would not be reached before
