from this city who have gone never to

out of town will come home next Sun
day, and their friends are eagerly an
ticipating the arrival of the day in con-

in authority aver that shoes are being
turned out in a satisfactory manner
and that they are having no trouble.

ultimately work for the common good
of the city.
