thoroughly discussed from every con

cided by motion to issue a call, and
extend an invitation to all wage

Moss Gulch to Dry creek.
The way the "beautiful” was
drifting around yesterday, evidently

be repeated, after the storm subsides.

When we left the office to retire,
after preparing this issue. Our pol

otherwise) attend the two political
meetings which are scheduled to
convene at the same hour, but at
different places, this evening.
The two Political aggregations
constitute, our diplomatic City Fath
