In seeking denomination tor the
Office of Prosecuting Attorney on
the Republican ticket, MIR. Givens
is asking for the stamp of public
approval which a second term
carries with it, based upon the
record of the manner in which he
has handled the office for the past
three years.
AS the people will remember, he
was elected for the first time two
years ago, having served by ap-
pointment less than year of the
unexpired term Of Charles P.
Mccarthy, following his appoint
ment to the District Bench.
Where a public officer has made
good and his record is satisfactory
it is economy for the people to
continue him in Office and secure
the benefit of his experience with
out going TO the expense OF at
every election putting in new and

Last night the members of the Trim

tors birthday anniversary by giving
him surprise pound party. About
forty members found their way into
the parsonage and loaded the table
with packages of every description
The first act of the guests on their ar
rival was to put the pastor under ar
rest to the charge of concealing his
age. Officers of the court were quick
ly made up and court was in session
for about an hour and half. The de-
PENDANT was found guilty by the jury
and was sentenced to serve another
term as pastor of the church. Games
were then enjoyed and a jolly good
time was spent by those present. De
llclous refreshments were served.
Needless to say, the pastor was sur
prlsed, as he was enjoying a quiet ev-
enlng at home when the party stormed
the house and found him coatless; and
he, being under arrest, was not allow
ed the privilege of putting it on.
