House renting for next year seems
to be all the rage just now. It may
be interesting news to people from II
distance to learn that our people don't
only look for the morrow" but a
year ahead. What we want are more
dwelling houses, but the prospects for
that are not exceptionally inviting, so
long as people refuse to sell their spnre
building lots and prefer to keep them
for potato patches.
The resignation OF Rev. A. II.
Spangler has been received and nc
eepted by the Lutheran congraga-
tions composing the Middleburgh
charge, and he will preach his fare
well sermon at Middleburgh on Sun
day forenoon and in the evening will
deliver n lecture on the Roman
church in the same house. Az IL will
probably be his last talk in our midst
before his departure, and on Il subject
In which all are Interested, we be-
speak for him a full house.

have purchased the right OF twenty
Ave counties in this and the southern
part Of the State for Dorsey's Easy
Washer. They are evidently under
the firm conviction that cleanliness il.
akin to godliness. c. Stetler has been
appointed General Agent, and the
manufacture Of machines will at once
be commenced ut the Planning Mill,
Middleburgh. We hope this new en-.
terprise will turn many sheckels into
their pockets.
a protracted meeting has been go.
ing on in the Evangelical church ut
Paxtonville, conducted by Rev. II. W.
Gross, preacher in charge. These
meetings have been in progress sever.
al weeks, and the services have been
OF very interesting character, and
some twenty persons have thus far
been converted, and nearly thirty
were still seeking. The attendance
has been very good, the preaching Of
the Word is in strong, simple, plain
and practical truth, shorn Of personal
pride and mere feathers. The good
work is still going on.
DIR. Barber and Squire Schoch are
not an entire success in coon hunting.
They had one of the sly creatures he.
tween the "deviland deep sea" (Which
means in II hollow log) one night last
week, with three dogs and two guns
In the bargain, but it don't matter
much at which end he got out, the
next day
There ' was an old coon and he sat on
His head was up and so was his tail.
POI MoRAL-Never be particular where
you punch coon for fear Of spelling
his hide.
To-day.is Thanksgiving. Let us &C.
cept 1t in spirit OF wise and philo-
sophical contentment Let us take il
for what it is worth and never look a

Stuff the turkey and kill the fatted
goose. Let each OF us give heartfelt
for not being trifie worse of

many things we should not do. We
should not get drunk. We should
not pray for the widows and the or
phans and then draw the straps a lit
tighter on our pocket books. There
Is great pleasure in doing good in
this world, and we never so fully real.
