Of those who put up the guarantee
fund that it was goodbye 10 the same,
but we are pleased to say that the
receipts will fully Offset the expendi-
lures and ii is expected all back bills
will be liquidated, a certain per cent
of the funds now on hand as a guar
antee being used, this being the I'M
derstanding.
Yesterday the receipts were the
largest in the history Of the associa-

rush OF other business he got out and
peddled couple thousand bill yes
