learn that on that day this year, the
banks will be closed and the rural free
delivery service will be suspended.
Nine-tenths of all business places will be
closed, and there will be a general sus-
pension of work on that day, and, tough
est of all, the lid on every bsr-room in
Pennsylvania will be down tight ST.
Patrick's day happens on Sunday.

aration the program for some tune and 1t
goes without saying that all who attend
will be edited and pleased. A silver
Offering will be takel.
