mistaken for the vibration of an earth
quake the third OF November has been
ascertained to have been the solemn

being done inside the corporation,

4 to z, mistake was made in
O'Malley's ad in our last issue, making
the price of Morris Mills underwear

and supported him we trust that we
are sufficiently penitent to enjoy our
appointed Thanksgiving.

National bank of DEBORAH involves ex-
bank examiner McHugh as having
winked at its condition three years
ago, when had he done his duty,
much of the loss from prese Mt compli-
cations would have been avoided. We
