So many slanderous things are said
about servants by people who try to be
funny. that it is only justice to state
that there are q number in Atchison
who are the comfort, the reliance, ana
the mainstay Of the families employing
them.
There is a large and growing society
called by some the Tinkerers and by
others the POtterers- You may not think
you belong but your neighbor is sure
YOU are a member. The society never
meets because the members never get
through their work in time to meet.
Some one with an ambition to do
good should form an Elderly Persons
club in AtchisOn, and arrange Tor
meetings of the members, and see that
every member rides to the meeting
wouldn't this be better than a sun
shine club for children. who never
