Robert F. Hubbard, wife and chill
dren of Cazenovia, N. Y, are here
for only a short stay at their delight
full winter home, lockwood" some
three miles down the lake shore. Mr..
Hubbard says he is not permitted to
spend as much time here as he would
like owing to the fact that the children
are in school and must return for the
opening of the term next week. He
says he knows that Crescent City has
good school and he is greatly
pleased, but he does not think it well
to change his little people who are
nicely settled in school at his New

Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbard will be privi-
legged to spend more of their time with
us.

graduated from the Wheaton Semi
