 People about town were wondering yesterday what had become of MT. Maiden's two poor old white horses which used to drag his express wagon through the streets. loaded to the gun wales with all sorts of trucks and dicker. A man on the corner said the horses had been taken care of by the Society for the Prevention of Crueltya to Animals. An attempt will be made to put little more flesh on their tired bones. and their owner may be ad- monished to be less appreciative of horse flesh.
 The Biconstra Sunday school class held very pleasant social reunion last night at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Thomas B. Taylor.
