The law has decided that Zimri Dwiggins took nothing from the commercial bank. The books show he did. Now can the law sustain her point by telling us where the money is, and if Zimri didn’t keep it, when did he bring it back? The depositors would like to have MO, 000 applied to their credit.

Miss Rose Makeever, daughter of Mrs. Wm. Coen, is convalesent from two weeks sickness with lung fever. W. N. Jones offers his services to those who have sales this fall. W.

The bosses have now agreed to pay $1.15 and board or $1.50 without board. It is probable that were it not for the shortness of the season the company would have been able to hire good men for 25c a day without board.
