People go where they are invited. At

Everybody reads newspapers; every
body does not read circulars, no matter how

"A committee is at work on plans for
raising sufficient money to erect suitable

greater idea of beauty and patriotism than
the desire to get piece of everything they
can see for their own selfish ends. We
hope the promoters of the scheme will be
rewarded by liberal contribution.
