Dear Miss Fairfax.
Ny brother, now in France. but
who expects to be home shortly.
Is in love with a young lady
whom any one could be fond OF
she is blond tall and handsome,
and has an agreeable disposition.
The other day I heard several
women talking about my brothers
liancee, saying at one time she
knew well a man who had been
arrested several times, sued for
breach OF promise etc.
Ny brother knows nothing
about the above, as his sweet
heart has never mentioned this
70 him. and he shall never know
through me, but as I discovered
this in a peculiar manner, I am
afraid he may find 10 out after
ne is married, and trouble viii
ensue- Why do YOU suppose She
kept this a secret2 j. J. X.
I think it is a pretty strict sort Of
accounting to hold a girl responsible

She was once friendly, and perhaps

Coal Mine Blocks

The output at present has been raised to a point high enough to afford not only an ample supply of fuel for the con struction and operation of the govern ment railroad but also a surplus suf ficiently large to protect against in terrupted traffic and accidents at the mine.
