Public Demonstration

In view of the good news flashed
to us today, it is thought best to
have a public demonstration on
Monday night. Can't we have the
school children parade and a gen
erul response from the country?
Every patriot is invited. At the
close of services Friday night at
the Presbyterian church meeting
will be held to make arrangements
for the demonstration.

1t Is impossible, he says, discussing
