visit some of his children located
in Sterling county. He is hale
and hearty and bids fair to live
many years yet.
Note the change in the adver-
tisement of Fox & Mills. They

moist this week, but up to this

from the picnic by attending their
dinner today. The ladies promise
you a dinner worth more than
the money it will cost you. Be
sure to attend.
