ZIONIST and impersonator of the Col
umbian school of Oratory at Chicago,
gave recital in the M. E. Church on
Wednesday evening to fair audience,
at ten cents admission. The enter
tainment was quite good, and some
thing out of the usual line, except by
local talent.

hand at Tuell's.
Nothing can make the streets in the
residence part of town more attractive
than shade trees. 1t costs practically
nothing to go out in the woods and
select some straight young maple trees
and plant them along your sidewalk.
and we hope this will be generally
done this fall. In several places about
town, notably in front of Mark ORA
hams property, the naples are begin
ming to show up nicely.
