Her name is Mabel Elizabeth Gay, and she is certainly the per- sonification of all the .jolly good humor that that little word of three letters implies.

Mabel has won many true friends at Wes- levan. 23

He says: If Wilson don ' t take the Mexicans ill hand I will go down there with my company and straighten things out. If he don ' t go to Mexico he will no doubt go to Boston Theo- logical Seminary. We are confident he will make good wherever he goes. Byrd Lea Pickens, B.L., Buck- hannon.
