Three Sets of Twins,
If you should have three sets of twins, and name the first
“Pete” and “Repeat;” the second “Kate” and “Duplicate,” and
the third “Max” and “Climax" it would fairly illustrate one of
our customers; for they repeat their purchases, and duplicates
are sure to come and entire satisfaction is the climax.

Last Wednesday, the 17th, be
in'; Will Jackson's birthday, his
estimable wife conceived the idea
of surprising1 him with a birthday
dinner, and proceeded to prepare
the feast which consisted of more
good things to eat than could be
mentioned in quite a while. The
neighbors, being invited, were all
present, the writer among the
number, and William coming in
from town at noon found his
house besieged with all kinds of
eatables and eaters. The surprise
was complete and we hope he may
live to have many such surprises.
