Last Sunday morning was usheredi in in the
furry of as fierce a snow storm as the present
winter has seen. About four inches of snow
would have covered the ground had not the
high wind piled it up in drifts in some places,
while in others the earth was left bare as the
day before. Then succeeded still another
cold spell which froze everything freezable
and rendered outdoor business extremely
disagreeable.

are concerned.
The ladies of the Episcopal Church request
us to give thanks for them to the people of
Arcadia Valley for their liberal assistance
and patronage at the Festival last Friday
evening. The net proceeds were trifie ov-
er $40, and somewhat exceed expectations;
for times are hard. and though the hearts OF
our people may be willing the pocket-nerve
is rather weak and abnormally sensitive. The
ladies also desire to especially thank Mr..
Oliver for the very fine bouquet fashioned
and donated by him.
DIR. Miles C. Farrar Is now a resident of
Fort Worth, Texas. He is in the Missouri
Pacific Hospital at that point, which is quite
large institution. The main building is
nearly three hundred feet long, and of pro-
portiOnate width. 1t will accommodate 24O
patients. We regret that we cannot at present
comply with the Doctors invitation to come
and see him, but of one thing he may be
sure: our wishes do not "postpons" with
the circumstances that environ andl bind us
down, as it were, to duty and home.
In our item referring to Mr.-we beg par

for twenty fve days while in fact the amount
was thirty. three and one-fourth pounds
She has averaged, In the last forty days,
nearly one and one half pounds per diem
beside some new milk and several quarts of
cream sold. By the way, We have since per-

On the 14th inst. we received valentine
fashioned after the longing of our inner self.
We deeply suspect j. Grandhomme of hav-
ing to do with it. 1t was a little flask, fiat,
and of oval-circular form, its front beautified
by the counterfeit presentment of face and
form divinely fair. The contents of the VAL
entlne may not properly be described as 'a
temperance drink" but were the best of a
beverage that many folks insist is bad in all
its fcrn,e and tendencies. That impeach-
ment of our valentine, however, lieth not at
this day, hut the beauty of its fair face en-
dureth forever.
