THE NEWS FROM w'EsrMINsTER
The Couriers Correspondent Quite
Sick--Notes About The Town.

Il
Is getting better. Mr. Gossett has
been confined to his room since last
Saturday a week ago on account OF
an attack of pneumonia. During
that time he has been a very sick
man, his ply s!cian, DR.. Burt Mitchell,
being very apprehensive of his con-
dition for one or two days. For
fourteen years Mr. Gossett has been
the correspondent from this place,
and he has missed but one or two
letters during that long period of
time. He has reported faithfully
and accurately the many happen
ings of busy people,, giving very
graphic accounts OF their Joys and
pleasures as we'll as their sorrows
and bereavements. Many times the
sons and daughters OF Westminster,
who are either out of the county or,
State, have looked forward to the
weekly letter" from home. So I
say you will be glad to learn that
your faithful correspondent is now
out of danger, and we trust on the
road to rapid recovery.
