classes, kinds and colOrs, for neither party had
ice cream on tap. The Ladies' Aid who have
fine cagvass tent for their saloon, has dealt

no cream arrived. Tom Baker met the same
fate, for when the train arrived he was also

were sadly disappointed II has become a habit
equal to the old beer topper, and everybody

will bold an outdoor feast or festival on the
church green, and Ice cream In galore for the
whole crowd will be there IN evidence. and
Tommy Will see TO II that his big saloon is sup
piled with plenty fthat luxury.
