One of the most graceful things that
comes to our knowledge is the act of
giving to those who are in distress. 1t
appears that party from this village
went to the North Village where they
received from the good people contri
buttons of clothing, bedding and money
to the amount of GIL, for Mr.. Frank
Farnum who lost so much at the fire
last Friday. The people of this village
are not behind, they are giving literally
of their store, so that we trust it will
not be long before, Mr.. Farnum will
be made comfortable for the winter.
Kind deeds, like kind words, are never
lost.
