especially competent to pass judgment in such
matters. He stated that your paper was the
best weekly paper of it's kind he had ever seen
and gave you well deserved compliment for
the able manner in which the news was col

girl friends to enjoy the sport with them. A
large cake was placed in front of the guest of
the evening to remind him that his birthday
was near at hand, and it his duty to cut
and serve the cake. Appropriate poetical quo
tations were used as place marks, and as one
of the youths said, 1--WE couldn't help knowing
who was meant" Mr.. Macomber is to leave
soon for Lynn, Mass, where he has employ
ment as a machinist with the Lynn General
