"Old Times" corner in the
news is an attractive feature
of the paper and when we re-
ceive our paper we always read
"Old Times" first. These re
miuiscences are interesting to
old citizens who were familiar
with Indian warfare at that
time and they are fascinating to
the youg folks who like to read
Indian stories. That one fea-
ture of the paper is worth the
subscription alone.
Last Saturday was a busy day
