An exchange says that if readers want
to havea complete record of local events
and one ofthe most interesting books that
can be had anywhere, let them take blank
book and each week clip from their local
paper all the items of interest and paste
them under the date of the paper, and at
the end of the year they will be surprised at
the amount of local history had in one
scrab book. Cut out church notices, we'd
dings, deaths, ETC., and in few years you
will have collection such as you would not
part with for any other book that could be
