another carload. S. L. Kline is
agent for this popular house in this
city.

to prove source of satisfaction
that will last them until the day of
death.

subscription rates are, rs cents a
single copy, or $40 per year.

by Mrs. Lou Rhoades accompanied
by Miss Ollie Thompson. One new
member was added to the church.
