conventions will be chosen. The re.
publcans seem to be divided among

The way some hoodlums misbehaved
at the Baptist church last Sunday
night Is shame and disgrace to CIV
ilized community. The good people
of Lebanon do not have to stand this
misbehavior In churches. If 1t is con-
tinued all they will have to do is to
swear out complaint, and the officers
of the law will do the rest. The EX-
PRESS hopes to see some Of the boys
that misbehave in church given the
benefit of the full extent OF the law.
Hiram Baker told US yesterday that
he has made very large number Of
sales Of the Featherbone corsets lately.
Mr.. Baker said that he was satisfied

veriising of those corsels ia this paper,
thus letting so many people know the
value of these popular corsets. The
manufacturers guarantee the corsets,
but out Of all these sales only one has
been returned, and the house refunded
tthe money to Mr.. Baker at once. This
shows that the manufacturers are re-
liable.

ignorant classes do not appreciate lit
