The first sprig of Trailing Arbu-

morning at the church in the cor
sage bouquet Of young lady: it
was sweet and beautiful ar
butus we mean.
Mrs. E. NJ. Fowler is very sue
cessful in growing Winter flower
ing plants and her husband is pay
ing her a deserved compliment
showing an appreciation for the
beautiful in placing them in the
show windows of his store.
1t really looks as if the cry of
hard times" were out of place,
while there is ability for cease
less round of rink going, hops, and
entertainments of every class, to
say nothing of the circuses that
must be attended if it takes the
last penny.
