its share of the varieties.

The committee Of the old settlers
organization met at the Hancock
county hub last Saturday to fix tina

a time when towns in this prosper
GUS county Of ours, made fight as
to which one would be given the
privilege to entertain those dear old
people. but now none wants to take
the responsibility. The committee
appointed at the last meeting will
