Haven't YOU heard of the house

is what Mrs w. B. Cogburo
had to do on Thursday last, when
Mr.. Cogburn had Rev. ]. T. Lit
tlejohn, DIR. G. E Burts and Mr..
Albert Lott to take dinner with
him. Three larger men than these
would be difficult to find in the
county. And Mr.. Cogburn is him
self far from being midget.
