From the most authentic reports,
coming from source which must be
considered perfectly reliable, and the
truthlulness of which cannot well be
doubted, if kilograms are to be de-
pended upon to throw an unbiased
and impartial light upon subjects of
such vast Importance, if we throw
aside mere personal opinions and
willingly take it for granted that a
fellow knows when be is sick, then it
is that as friendly disposed natives
Of way-back town, we must say,
yes, John Thomas was sick New
Years day-hp must have been be-
cause he said he was,-and hastily
improvised posters all over town
said he was. Then Danish the
thought that he had rather spend
New Years day with the other
"Chappies in cultured Boston than
in the wids of Vermont. Having
seen his picture, taken before his sick
ness, everybody will want to see if he
looks any worse since. So turn out
and hear the great humOrist John
Thomas at town hall-not next Mon
day evening, as was expected-hut
on Monday evening, January 27,
another change in date being made
to come in keeping with other ap-
pointments OF his in this section. So
before Thomas comes, Roberts Har-
per will appear in his illustrated
lecture Jan. II. Friday evening,
bear in mind. Harper Jan. II
Thomas Jan. 27.
