Robert Smith bas placed in his side yard a
walk of over 230 feet of cement in large
blocks. The concrete was put in to a depth
of ten inches to avoid any damage from
frost. It is a splendid walk, looks like solid
stone and will wear a life time.
During the summer a number of our
young ladies organized what they term the
A. B. C. club, and meet weekly at the resi-
dence of the members. Miss Mabel Long is
president, and is said to wield the baton of
authority with considerable skill. The club
is increasing gradually but they are very
cautious in admitting new members, wisely
preferring character and intelligence to mere
pumerical strength. On Saturday evening
last they met at the residence of Miss Anna
McCummings. Their next meeting will be
at the residence of Miss Grace McClellan, the
vice president.
