the remarks of many of my friends frienda who are ing the operations of the caterers cateress cater ers tor for public favor and patronage the men ot of the world lare lare w wise ise in th their ke generation and are working his bae bu elness fuess for gu all it is worth at the expense of our oar peaple who little think thin ot numerous Aum erous evils C connected there wit lesire for and love

of god 11 kind and creating a want that in the f future utu re will lead many astray if we must have pleasure and I 1 never once doubted it why not create it out of th the e elements and the many

beautifying the land around their homes which are now choked with weeds and inaam bared with littering rubbish in conversation with one of my old neighbors who has erected a perfect little paradise
