Adam Foster still enjoys the distinc-
ton Of being the only livery stable man
in the village. He takes good care of
the business and that is why he has the

not attempted to make any trips with
auto. USING horses almost entirely.

Postmaster John Berger is getting
along nicely with the Office which he
took a short time ago. He finds the

capacity in attendance about the first of
December. The St. Mary's Sisters

tronize the p%arochial school, which is
centrally located and where in addition
to their other studies they can get the
best of musical instruction.
