Creditable

Two or three weeks ago several boys called upon our citizens for small contributions for organizing and uniforming a company. They met with fair success, but from some cause the project fell through and the company was not organized. Day before yesterday they restored the money contributed by each individual. This is decidedly creditable to the boys, and is an example of honesty and good faith that should not be lost upon older person.
