opinions on affairs in general IN the

At present his only method of express
ing an opinion is in howls and this Ian

child are both doing well. Mr. Leon

i'm the habit of turning out. He will
spare no pains to keep his stock COM
plete and to do all work brought to
him in a most thorough manner. This
is the kind of a harness shop Bradford
wants and it should be well patronized.
Mr.. Morgan should have good busi-
ness in a short time.
