The mayor ordered that every citizen
should hang a lantern in front of his
door.
But still the streets Were no lighter.
Then the a SwOre an oath and
issued a proclamation that the citizens
should put candies i'm the lanterns.
And still the streets Were no ligI.-lr.
Then the mayor SwOre a greater oath
and issued a proclamation that the Cit
liens should light the candles.
Then the streets Were lighter.
"A man once wished to make money.
He secured q good store.
He secured good goods.
He secured good clerks.
He made no money.
Then he turned ON his store the light
of newspaper advertising and let the
people know he was in ---iness and
why. He kept them in the dark no
longer. Then he made money.

no damage was done. Irish potatoes and
peas were nipped, but our truckers state
that it will do them 40 harm, if there is
not a succession of frosts.

pretty much the same report. He says
Strawberries We're not hurt, as they were
covered and where they were not covered
the large growth of leaves since the
warm weather will protect them.

and strawberries and produce are dam
aged. Beans We're killed, and it is be-
