ANOTHER SIGN, DOWN. . ,
, It is not improbable that in a f'ew

appear from the retail drug business

BOARD OF TRADE,
The local hoard of trade, which is
a .useful body when aroused, has its
work out out forthe next three mon-
ths.. Probably at no time in the his-
tory of .the town has there been just
the same necessity for prompt and
energetic action; the why and the
wherefore of which are so apparent
•that Mention need not be made . "of•
Allem. The :News -Record hopes in. Its
next issue to be able to say that the
13. of T. has, so 'to speak, taken off
its coat and rolled . up its sleeves.:'

the matter in the light of lone of the

He advised young menY
Until they were' 24, remarking that
that their . judgment was 'not likely
to be matured before that age.' Long
courtships, : as, a rule, he said, had
Veen productive of the happiest-• mar-
riages. Two years he termed a long
courtship ; six Months a short one.
Ile disputed the idea (that marriage is
a lottery. There •Should be no decep-
tion in Courtship. . In coming to; a
decision there should be more than
esteem, more than friendship, niore.
than admiration. A divine soul love..

combated strongly the belief - that

He had married .people he felt were
