We are all interested in the grow
h and prosperity Of our city. We
want to see new business come t.
town. We want to be trade and
manufacturing center, an educational
center, and a hustling community.
That is why we are bidding for bu-
siness. That is the reason why our
merchants are advertising. That is
the reason why we are spending
money in school appropriations, mu-
nicipal improvements and everything
that goes to make our town attrac
tive and desirable locality in which
to do business.

 disprove the bankers charges that she had been guilty of misconduct with
 Fred Beauvais, Indian guide. Isaac N. Mills of Mrs. Stillman's counsel said that even if the evidence to be adduced in Canada from 51
 witnesses were meagre a commission to hear 1t was justified because of the effort to defend woman's honor and the birthright of d child"

TO GIVE XMAS
 PLAY TOMORROW

Particularly interesting and de- Eghtful at this season will be the ara matic interpretation Of Dickens Christmas Carol by Raymond L. FOrman at the First Methodist church, Fairfield avenue and Broad street. tomorrow night. Those in- tending to attend any Of the series or Popular Thursday Nights should bear in mind that the entertainments will begin at 8 o'clock promptly.
 Dickens ghost story of Christmas is so familiar that 1t is only necessary to recall the miserly Scrooge. Bop Crachet and Tiny Tim to bring Jack memories of the emotions it stIrs whenever It is read or heard.
 Dr. FOrman's. deIineation of the various characters makes them seem real and never Overdrawn. His facial expressions are characterized as won- derful. The hexibility of l4.s voice .Is admirably adapted to bring out the different characters and each one is clean cut and strongly impersonated.
 Like all the Popular Thursday there will be no charge, but an offering will be taken.
