Our good friend, Squire Williams, In
vlted us over to partake Of an oyster
supper Friday night. We went and
had a good time and got an up-to-date
supper. Squire Williams does moth
ing by halves. There were many hand
some gowns worn BY the ladies pres
ent and the gentlemen were decked
out 10 the the conventional black. All
enjoyed themselves. To each and
every guest present he gave to them a
beautiful souvenir-a picture Of him
self.

The LEDGER printers took to the
woods Thanksgiving Day and had
their annual outing. To make a long
story short we will just state they had
a rattling good time as they always do
on such coca, ions. Plenty to eat and
plenty Of refreshments, and "all kinds
Of game was bagged. It's a way they
have. To all those good, liberal bust
ness men who gave them a hand-out,
they wish to doff their hats and thank
most cordially. Such kindnesses shall
never be forgotten. ". Lee Miller
wears a charming medal that be re-
ceiyed from the Typographical Union
