last named was up looking after some of the
the creek near where 1t enters Rocky River,
not far from where Tom Young's old mill

come difficulties. very soon had nice dinner
prepared, and the hungry were fed. At night
the oysters were nicely prepared in more
| ways than one, so that the tastes Of all we're
met. Several varieties OF cake, together VIII
! ice cream, added the final touches to the de-
| lightful menu. Some OF the most important
! fragments were sold to the highest bidder

promoters OF the scheme to benefit the Metho-
dist Parsonage, had in their hands about $50,
which will materially aid them In carrying
out their plans.
| To see big preparations made along this
line for bachelor preacher, would seem that
, he will not much longer "be monarch" OF all
he surveys, in his home, but will divide the
! honors with better half. Well see later on.
