About three inches of snow fell here
yesterday. This (Monday) morning we
notice number of sleIghs gliding by.
Andrew ]. Blackwell. Jr., purchased
the farm lately owned by jeremiah
Young, deceased, situated about three
fourths of a mile northeast of our village,
at public sale last Wednesday afternoon.
The purchasing price was $3.50 per
acre. The farm contains about 81 acres.
We congratulate our friend upon his
purchase of this valuable farm.
The killing season sat hand. Already
the squeal of the swine is heard sounding
through the air,
The snow of yesterday brought out our
sportsmen at an early hour this morning.
rhe rabbit that wasn't tout" last night
is the safest fellow te.day.
We we're glad to take by the hand
again our friend, Rev. G. S. Converse,
formerly pastor of the Larisou's Corner
Presbyterian Church, aud now located ut
Rawlins, Wyoming Territory. He reach
ed ouryillage enc day last week and ex-
poets to remain among us for some time.
Although not as fieshy as when he dwelt
among us, yet his appearance bespeaks
for him the enjoyment of good health
HIS former congregation and friends
we're greatly pleased to see him. He
denies the report that he was "killed "
by the Indians.
Sociability seems to be lost virtue
among the people Of our village. Those
persons who are looked upon as leaders in
society and certainly the ones who should
DO the most s,cial of any, are the very
ones in our village who are not possessed
of, or at least do not manifest, these
social qualities. We consider that first
of all, the church should possess and cul.
tivate the spirit Of sociabilily, and if it
does not, it neglects one of its greatest
and best missions.
About twenty five of the young people
of this village, visited the residence of
Mrs. Noah Blackwell, last Thursday
evening, to pay pleasant surprise to
Miss Lizzie Young, highly respected
lady of our village. Miss Young starts
for the West to-day, (Monday,l to spend
several months with her brother, Mr..
Frank Young, engaged in business at
Durango, Colorado. The above occasion
proved complete surprise to Miss Young
who, however, enjoyed it heartily with
the others Not many minutes elapsed
after the young people had gathered, be-
fore the enjoyment of the evening began
by the pleasure afforded in the different
popular games of the day. All present
were intent upon having good time, and
that suck was their experience was mani
Tested by their happy faces aud many
peals Of laughter that resounded from
room to room. Miss Young leaves us
with the highest esteem and appreciation
of all her friends, The best ishes of the
young people attend her during her trip
ard visit, hoping that at some near future
time they may see her again in our village
as one of them, aud that they may again
be permitted TO gather again in a COM
pany with her, as enjoyable as that of
last Thursday evening.
Now that the first snow of the season
has fallen, let it rem ind our citizeus that
a plankwalk lies before their residences
that needs TO be kept clear of snow. Let
each Que resolve that he will use his best
endeavors TO remove the snow from the
plank in front of his residence as
soon as possible after every storm. If
this could be so, foot passengers would
rejoice.
A sociable was held by the congregation
of the Larison's Corner Church, at the
residence of William Brewer, last Tues
day evening. A large attendance was
present. Dialogues, charades and music.
added to the enjoyment Of the meeting
The young people especially seemed to
enjoy themselves, aud all went away
highly delighted with the evenings en-.
tertainment.
The meeting of the Total Abstinence
Society of this village, held in the Baptist
Church last Friday evening, was favored
with good attendance. A number Of
speakers were present. who addressed the
meeting upon the various issues of tenn
perance. Among the speakers were Rev.
C. s. Converse, of Rawlins, W. T. Rev.
Mr.. Davis, of North Branch, and Prof.
r. Y. +. Pierce, of Pennington. Music
was furnished by the Baptist Choir.
The person that allows the snow to
remain on his plank-walk until the sun
melts it, can be set down as person
possessed of good supply of laziness
The attendance at the churches last
Sunday evening was small, owing to the
storm.
Why don't g Truth" inform us In what
way we erred in our description of the
scenes in our village on caucus day? Did
he merely accuse us of lying for the sake
Of saying something's Let US hear
from you again. POP.
