is not the case, as I have found out
long ere this, that efficient officer is
hard to hide from. My long silence
has been caused by my having been
complimented with an attack of La
Grippe, which has had such Grip
upon me that | could not shake off.
A party remarked to me a few days
ago that Il had caught the Grip, "
all due respect to the Gentleman S
veracity, such is not the case as it
caught me, much to my discomfort.
| never was much of a fellow to han
ker after such compliments, but |
have been in the fashion for once in
this respect.
Mr.. Editor | take this method to
extend thanks for your kindly hospi-
liability showcred upon me while in
your town as a two day sojourner a
few weeks since, which was highly
appreciated and which will give me
much pleasure to reciprocate on some
future date.

provement and progress your town
has made since my last visit which

gathered front was much pleased
to note erected thereon buildings
presenting a very neat and imposing
spectacle, and the entire town pre-
se--ted an appearance of steady ad-
vancement which l was pleased to
behold.
l was much gratified to be received
so courteously by so many of your
townsmen, and hereby extend thanks
for the compliment, bestowed upon
me.

of late was the goat team of Dudley

the village Blacksmith a job. Mr..
Editor they tell me that goat was
going so fast that it had to turn side
ways to keep from flying.
