anything like that valentine he'd
shave tomorrow.
Mrs. A. Latondres sse left for Lake
Linden Thursday afternoon to visit
her daughter, Mrs. Samuel Maigret.
There is one thing to be regretted
and that is that certain party did
not receive a valentine Tuesday. The
party in question feels very bad

When the bell rang he looked
sleepy, but the pupils could not
imagine the cause. Skating is fine
as far as the stone quarry dock, but
it does not pay to get so interested

The Brink family are with US
again. Pleased to see them
back. They report having had a
splendid time Ben has some very
interesting eastern stories. Charlie,
it seems, missed this trip, much to
the surprise and chagrin of the
boys, but the girls are pleased, as
it leaves one more chance.
