At the Presbyterian church this eve-ning—Friday-Rev. Gillette will deliver his lecture, “The Girl you ought to marry.” All should go and hear it tire single ones to learn who they ought to have and the married people to see if they have found the ones they ought to have. It is a mighty mean act, says an exchange, to patronize any merchant , who will trust you until you get so far ■ in debt to him that you are ashamed to see him and then go and spend j our cash somewhere else where you couldn’t get credit; but there are peo-

ple who do it. The honorable way would be to spend your cash with the merchant who trusted you, even if you never expect to square up the old account. Mr. and Mrs. George Kern entertained a company of their friends very pleasantly last Saturday evening. The party was a surprise on Mr. Kern, and was given in honor of his 34th birthday.
