The hint we gave last week about sleigh
ride had no more effect than whistliBg 60 the
wind. Livery men are an uBfecling set. But VIC
| find that putting cur feet in q tub VI cold water
and having some one ring n collar Of sleigh bells
for Us answers about she same purpose We arc
always glad To get ahead Of those who are deaf
to our appeals.
The heavy snow of last week greatly in.
terruptcd travel ON the York road railway. ON
Sunday the ears ran at irregular intervals and
with great difficulty, the being ut least Is
inches In depth and badly drifted in many places.
The sleighing has been very dns all the week and
has been greatly enjoycd. I, Is very rarely that
We experience such fine sicighiug.
-Miss Arianna Matthews. ono Of the USIoSs
many good friends In tho sth district, and n very
successful farmer, raised the past season n rcd
beet which weighed 81 pounds. Miss Matthews
superintends her own farm, near Glencoe, and
raises rs large crops as any other farmer OF the
neighbOrhoOd. She Is thorough manager and
as sharp at bargain as the best Of them.
-Messrs. Roe a Chilcoat. merchants Of this
place. had their wagon out Christmas morning
delivering presents 20 their customers in the town
A veTitable Santa Claus handed the good things
from the wagon and caused the joyous little folks
10 open their eyes wide with wonder and adnira-
tion. II Is hardly necessary TO say that this bit
OF generosity on tho part Of that enterprsins firm
was duly appreciated.
When the local editor Of the IIa.crstown
Herald glances over this column for items next
week. We ask him to copy this one and 10 say that
nearly every week ho purloins a lot of original
items from the columns Of the BALTIMORE couSrY
USioS and publishes them as his own and without
credit. This IL the season 30 make resolutions 60
act "on the square," Let him "frame" this one
among the rest of his.
before Christmas We took n chance in a
2?-pound turkey and when Il was rafied some
fellow threw our chance and won Il for us. And
now we'd like to SEQ the man who raised that tur.
key. We have some business with him Of n pri-
vate nature. lie seems 10 have no respect for old
age and man who does not possess this l. not
christian. We have our opinion Of the fellow
who represented that turkey to be "young
gobblcr."
Mr.. John +. Flayhart, foreman In the
UNION ofhce. has perhaps the handsomest Christ
mas trce In town. The base upon which il stands
Is )! feet square and within the enclosure are II
very neat cottage and stable. with animals Of lir.
fcrent kinds, 6c.. nll made by Mr.. =. during his
leisure moments. Tho trco Is Handsomely trim.
med, all the articles used being the handiwork Of
himself and wife, both ofwhOni are most ingenious
and tasty.
-Chris,mas passed over very quietly il
