A Lively Time in the West End Of Waco
Township.

MR.. EDITOR Il have thought it strange
that no one has been moved to write you Of
the lively times We have been having in our
part of the county: and, as it would be too
bad to have II all lost TO the world, we ask
for a little space, and as you paper goes east
and west and every where. don't call my let

do, for CUES. by the time we are through

Christmas the Prairie G EN- Sabbath school
gave their scholars and friends a treat, by
way OF a free supper. Had several shsrt

At the close ofthe evening the children were
promised a Christmas tree if they would at
