| CAPT. RICHAgD CARTER circula-
ted among Mineral Point friends last

weather, was not II great success

pleasureable affair.

few minutes Saturday morning, and
there was a grand rush for Chand-
ler's store, which was supposed to be
ablaze. 1T proveG to be a false
alarm, however.

ALTHoUGHspeakers expected from
out of town failed to appear, the
Grand Army campfire at Darlington
last Thursday evening was socially
and financially very successful. The

tionally bounteous, rich and grace
fully served.
