Speaking of ice cream, the best judges of the article do say that 3laj. SEELX'S is " just boss." We have ho doubt you will confirm this testimony when you taste the cream.

Those who cannot be present on that occasion can send the amount through the post office or by some friend. It is hoped the sum realized may he commensurate with the great servives the Reverend gentleman rendered this community during a pastorate of sixteen years, in which the Episcopal con gregation increased from a struggling little band to a flourishing parish.
