The New Series of S. s. Lessons.


commencing with the new year, will be
a seven years series. The first year
will alternate with the Old and
New Testaments, if we are correctly in
formed. Where the second year begins
we are not advised. These lessons are
national, and are arranged by compe-
tent and scholarly men, who are well
yersed in Biblical lore, and are recog-
nized as earnest Sunday School workers.
If all our citizens will take an inter-
est in this work, which is doing so much
for the country in awakening thought
in the coming generation, into whose
hands the destinies Of the nation are to
be committed when we who are older
shall have passed away, they will have
done good work, and one that will
never awaken an unpleasant or unhal-
lowed recollection.

Editor of the Wabasha (Minn.
Herald, arrived in our city on Satur-
day last, stopping at the Rablin House
The party were en- route for Green Bay,
whittier they 60 to use their influence
in behalf of Wabasha as the terminus
of the Green Bay & Lake Pepin Rail
Road. After listening to careful
recital of their claim and the many ad-
vantages naturally accruing both to the
company and the country through
which the road must pass if this point
become the terminus, we are led to be-
lieve that the road must necessarily
be builded to that point. Every argu-
ment seems to favor " abasha as the ter
minus, and in a money point Of view,
both as regards future traffic, economy
in construction, local aid, and the vast
business which must Of necessity pour
into this great channel, the foot Of
Lake Pepin seems to us to render this
the most feasible and business point
for the road We wish the gentlemen
every success, and feel assured they
will achieve it, for they are business
from Alpha to Omega in railroad mat
ters. Gentlemen, when the iron horse
snorts in Wabasha, look out for a
Grand Rapids delegation upon the
northern threshold Of the great wheat
growing state.

Enjoying the Holidays. 1t is
we'll that so much happiness is crowded
into the sunshiny days of girlhood and
boyhood, else a long life would hardly
make respectable average in the great
| aggregate Of years. 4 right merry
time was enjoyed at the "Philleo
House" last Friday evening. We
thought we had observed the Fremont
tory symptoms of big time in embryo
all day, and when we went home to tea,
| the Houer had Jlossomea. We read
the posters stuck up on the kitchen wall
with pancake batter
