pended on Monday afternoon on ac-
count of the rain and on Wednesday

work have departed for their homes.
Our old friend, d. A. C. of Milton,
had the following to say in his letter:
I'VE had thought that superstition
had died a lingering death by wear
ing out with age in this county, and
particularly in this town, but we are
deceived. The germ is still here. We
entered store a few evenings ago,
and the subject of ghosts was ON the
tapic. One old gentleman was very
and knew there was
ghosts for he had seen them. and no
could shake his belief but
only made him the more excited.
He is happy in his belief, and would
not be happy if he knew there We're
no ghosts Perhaps d. A. c. re-
members the ghost" argument very
well.
