A wireless telegram from Rogers
this morning conveys the intelligence
to the Times-Record of the birth of
twin baby girls to Mr.. and Mrs. John
Messer. Seeing that the Messers have
seven boys previously these twin girls
should be hailed with delight by this
family. We offer our congratulations
and hope that the mother and the lit
tie girls are coming along nicely and
when John comes to town he can drop
in and tell about it.
