Suffice it to he was the most surprised hog driver we've seen in a long time. Au oyster supper has been arrang- ed to take place on Wednesday night for the benefit of those who feel theimn- selves slighted by not receiving an invitation toa wedding which will have taken place before this will ap- pear.
