The reasoning of the official is
strong, but those who play poker

players themselves furnishing IL.
The hostess puts prizes in the mid

place a prize in the middle of the

BRYAN take hold of the situation
and make the necessary effort to
get il. The burden will not fall
heavily on anyone if all will help,
and the benefits will accrue to all
in proportion to the interests they
have here. An artesian water sup
ply will make property more valu-
able and improvements safer from
FIRE; afford opportunity for greater
civic Improvement and increase the
healthfulness and pleasure of living
in the community, and will offer
inducements to those contemplate

Fortunately, the dark days when Corsica

were murdered out of revenge, and that
