building also and by the terms w.
f. Orion, father of the purchaser,
turns in his residence property in
the fourth ward. Mr.. Walton has

succeed wherever he may locate at

likely student under a faithful
instructor and the Herald bespeaks
for him continuance Of the enyious

at his old stand until he finds
another suitable location.
