With them, %prcfacing the invitation
With the remark that we must say
something nice about them I'm the pa

otherwise, for they are all, without Il

IS they can be, and our only wonder is
that they have been allowed to remain

SO long.-Marlou Record.

deeds. A poor widow with two
small children re ceived q basket OF
many nice articles, as a gift from
this little band, while little Kate
Gibson received o nice book, one
of Mrs Holmes novels, which was
highly and sincerely appreciated.
Saturday night at a late hour
in one of the barber shops in Kcr-

blackened the name OF our fair
State. Two prominent young men
