Last Monday just before sunset we had a big rain, but we noticed and called me attention oi several getnlcmen to it that it was raining heavily on the west of the town and also on the east at the same time and not a bit along Main St. It seemed that this street divided the cloud for it was raining considerably on both sides.

Miss Maud has won the esteem of all whom she has met while here and all who know her sincerely regret her de parture, and while away in another state she will doubtless remember many hap py hours spent in our town, and our peo ple will remember her charming face and graceful manners with pleasure. No one else ever has enjoyed so universal friend ship and esteem. This place was once her home, her, family having moved to Texas several years ago when she was quite young. A Supper.

Something was said of dancing but after getting there, and knowing for a certainty that Miss Maud was going to leave so soon, no one felt like dancing. For an Ice Cream sup per it could not have been better. The table was fixed with taste. But how could it have been otherwise, with such a charming young lady at the head. No doubt the one the supper was compli mentary to enjoyed it. She seemed to. No doubt she dreaded bidding Miss Bet- Tacco breaks are heavy and pi ices are j tie good-bye.
