In another column may be found
an offer made by Mr. atuil, in
which he agrees lo present lo each
eluld iiorn in the tow n during I In
coming year, a gold diamond ring.
While in Hie past tour years there
lias been only live children Itorn in
town, it can not be iuki-n as a cri
terion for the future. There is no
knowing wliui a day may bring
forth, utul Mr. Htull may hud his
offer quite an ex|ieiise. Hucli liber
al utters sometimes are far reaching
in effect. There are a number oi
young married couple* in our
midst. We have quite a numlicr
of boys and girls of marriageable
age. We have all uhle and willing
minister. There are a few houses
to let. and plenty oi furniture for
sale, and so on down the line.
Every branch of business is 1 k- .v
to feel the effect* of Mr. SSliill’#
offer. It would probably lx- well
for the merchants to lay in a stuck
of i>eranihuiator#. They are a
good thing and the proud daddies
might push them along, i'heconn-1
eil will hy that tiiiia give iis good
slreeis. Hut one of the most im
portant results would la* the pre
sentation of invitations to us
to attend the eliris cninga.
