in the Island Pond post office until a
short time since. There has always
been someone to bring her mail, but ex-

Amy Edmands, and being in the village,
she made her first visit to the office to
inquire for the letter.
Julius Storms friends all sympathize
with him in the loss of beloved pipe,
the like of which has rarely been seen
here. A day or two since he had care
fully laid the pipe on the mantel shelf,
when a young lady accidentally or will
fully pushed it off and it shattered into
hundred pieces. Too bad, julius =
and Isador feels just as bad as Julius
over the mishap.
Don't forget the presentation of the
four-act comedy "The School Ma'am'

certainly spend pleasant evening, and
you will help the senior class as we'll.
