a place of residence like those who
come from the outside.

the surrounding towns are interested
in the general growth. This good feel

are so proud to its origin and see where

Europ.an ancestors; they had it from
the Greeks and Romans and the Jews
They derived it from the Ethiopia and

returned to that country as the source an'

According to the friends of Gov

will not become again q candidate
for Governor Of the State, nor will
he except the nomination for the
Vice Presidency. The inference, of

nomination for President. Mr..
Hughes has not signihed his will
ingness to become a candidate for
the Presidency, but his friends insist
that it would be foolish to assume
that he would not accept the NOM
nation if rendered him. And
indeed his friends need not go so
faras to make the assertion. 1t will
