Henley and Charlie Butler enjoyed the pleasures of the evtuing. Everything passed off quietly, and everybody was happy, until talk commenced Saturday morning. Since then a merry little hell has beea raging. Each faetiou had a job put up on the other, and both failed.

And who will throw them. If the other faction will give itself a name. And if they each will then draw up a constitution and by-l-ws and draft resolu-lutions. If not, why not. Why the limping Jesus at Spring Lake would like to see The Fowls: City Advocate souk its head.
