Quiet and Pleasant Sunday.

The weather Yesterday was as cool
and pleasant as that of early fall, in
marked contrast to that of the preceding
four or five Sundays. The heavens were
clear and refreshing northeast breeze

with people. Bicycles were in evidence,
AS were also horses and buggies The
attendance at churches, however, showed
no increase, from the fact that many
people are still out of the city.
