At the close OF school was invited
to walk home with Mrs. Marjori,

Reaching town on Saturday afternoon
to spend Sunday and Monday, / was
met at the Santa Fe stable by Rev.
II. A. Young, and his steward, LLOYD
Phelps, one of the finest young men
in the city, and John Barber, con-

the whole connection will some day
recognize his worth to the race and
church, and will elevate him to the
highest place.
