Through slight misunderstanding, the
advertisement of w. II. Smith in last
weeks paper was made to say that }. E.
Anderson was at work for Mr. Smith.
The fact is that Mr.. Smith learned horse
shoeing of Mr.. Anderson, and regards it
as greatly to his credit that he acquired
the art of SO skilful an instructor. Mr..

to have six lectures or lessons, which will
be illustrated by practical demonstra-

had not been in America long, and he
apple pie which he had for dinner one
day was something new to him. He ate
his piece of pie, and liked it. He wanted
more; but didn't know what he should
say to obtain it. He was determined to
have another section of the delicious pas
try, however, 50 he hazarded a guess:
please give me another piece of roasted
triangle" And he was quickly served.
The next lecture in the peoples travel
course, at the Congregational church, will
be given this Thursday evening. The
subject will be "California". The des-
cription is we'll written and, with the
fifty Illustrations, will furnish profitable
knowledge of the cities and fertile fields
of hat state. The stereopticon prelude

of this year, 1896, and perhaps for this
winter.

urged parents to do all in their power to
keep their boys from using tobacco. He

nounced that at some future date Drs.
J. f. Manning and n. c. King would
speak on the evil effects of alcohol on the
| human system.
