About 200 of our citizens availed
themselves of the offer Of Miss Stone
to call and examine her summers work
in sketching. Much of it proved of
high order and all were delighted with
the privilege of looking upon it. Miss
Stone has been seen so often the past
summer upon our streets carrying her
sketching paraphenalia that she has be-
come almost a fixture and will be
missed when sh9 leaves as she soon
will. She expects to spend the winter
in New York city and return here next
summer. All who have made her ac-
quaintance will be pleased to learn
this.
