Alice and William VanDyke
Ochs were here part of last week,
staying at Mrs. Grace Little's on
South Third street. They both
looked wonderfully well ant were
enthusiastically greeted and invit-

old friends, having lived here in

One of tn most delightful
events Of the post holiday season
took place on Thursday afternoon
