On the street and In the offices we see a number of little red and white pins which Indicate that the wearer belongs to an organized adult bible class. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hackley, south of town, a 11% pound boy. Bob is thinking seriously of discharging his hired man and putting this boy in the field. He says as far as they have tried him, the baby shows himself a thoroughly competent hand. The entertainment that was given by the first six grades of our school Friday night was pronounced by all a grand success. The teachers should feel very proud of the work of their pupils and of the patronage of the town, as crowded house greeted the children. Our line of furnishings, shirts, underwear, neckwear and hosiery contain all the new patterns. See our line of cuff attached coat shirts at 31.00, they are equal in pattern, quality, fit and workmanship to most lines usually retailed at much higher prices. ROWLES * PARKER.
