friends of Captain j. N. w. Rumple,

The lecture by DR.. Chas. English
last Wednesday was fine so say those
that attended. His lecture all the way
through showed depth of thought
and he clearly demonstrated to his
hearers that he was master of his
subject not the subject master of him
as is sometimes the case. The next
number and the last will be given by
Robert Parker Miles of New York
city. He comes strongly recommend
ed and all should turn out and give
him good house and help the bust
ness men out in their good work.
Last Saturday evening a party of
Gray's young people gathered together
and went to the home of their friend,
Miss Estella Hepp, and gave her a
genuine surprise party it being her
birthday. She was much surprised
when they all came trooping in but
soon recovered and proceeded to show
them good time. Before leaving
they left her many valuable presents
that will always remind her of her
many friends and the pleasant time
they passed together and all wished
that they might be privileged to pass
another evening at this pleasant home
and with this hospitable family.
A small company of citizens met last
Saturday night to consider the pur-
chase of the cemetery. No business
was transacted on account of the small
attendance. Geo. Gray who now owns
the cemetery ground has offered to sell
the same to the city for the considera-
ton of $3.50. The lot comprises about
three and one half acres and it is very
cheap and it would be wise move on
the part of the people of Gray to pur-
chase it and take plans for the i'm
provement and keeping up of this
burying ground and ever keep the
graves of departed friends and rela-
tives green in this the silent city of
the dead.

No modern vegetarian could slap an ancient
Roman on the back-fguratively of cOurse-and
call him brother. The. early Roman was an
agricuIturist but he ate cooked meats at least
once a day. If literature did not furnish suffi-
Gent evidence of this, the stoves which have
been found in the ruins of Pompeii, Hercuia-
neum and elsewhere would. Gardens and
kitchens were characteristic Of the homes Of
the Romans. The POmpeiians may not have
found room for wide streets, but they reserved
space for gardens in the rear Of their houses
The later Romans. however, did not devote their
gardens to vegetables but to flowers. Strangely,
some of the poets, including Horace, found fault
with this condition of affairs. lamenting that the
cereals were increasing in dearness, and that the
