dwelling houses.

The doctors are not very busy

gentlemen are well-known and pop
ular, and we speak for them a good

hope he will be successful.
Several of the young folks went
for ride on Sunday; they went
prepared for a jolly time. They had
it. After the cavalcade started one

covered rigs got well soaked. One
rig upset but no one was seriously
hurt.
Mr.. O, Allen recently made a fly

Miss Annie O'Brgen has been en-
gagged to teach the grammer depart
ment of our school for the remand
er of the term. The young lady
was an applicant for the position at

right thing to have employed her
then, as it was the desired of a
very large majority of the parents in
town.
