Our three grand-girls went to visit

at Bryant Pond, the program being to
stop till Sunday, so as to take in the
moving picture show there Saturday
evening. When the program was carried
out, Mr.. Morgan brought the children
home, accompanied by his wife and little
daughter; and, since his mother, wife of
Z. Fl. Morgan, arrived about the same
time, it proved to be week commence

Herbert Ring has two little girls, the

lance of three miles, leaving the other
to return home at her leisure. Hence it
seems that travelling on foot is not an
