W. C. Smith, D. Bova, G. H. Anger-

 off last week for a fishing trip, and re-

 their bait, and had to use a net for their 

 big catch. 



George Ostertag is lying sick at the 

 Baptist hospital. He was painfully hurt 

 last week by falling out of his buggy.

 plant is ten feet high and twenty feet in 

 circumference. Prof. W. Trelease, of the 

 Botanic Garden, says it is a record for 

 blooms, as sixty is the most to his per- 

 sonal knowledge. 



Charles Young, the treasurer of the C.

 morning all smiles. Mr. Young says it 

 is a big boy, and all is well, and how

 when they return home next week from 

 Atlantic City!
