It is worthy of remark that 50 far
the Women's Relief Corps have not
had an application for help this win
ter. A green Christmas may mean a
fat graveyard, but 1t don't mean the
hard times aud suffering for poor peo-
pie that necessarily follow long, cold
winter.
Among those who will hereafter cell
citrate Christmas and their wedding
anniversary at about the same time,
are Mr.. Frank Marley and his charm
ing bride, Miss Della Young, who
were married at the residence of the
brides father. We wish them many
merry Christmas days.
In answer to a query in yesterdays
paper, "who ever saw 1t rain all day
on the 25th of December" I. B. Law.
yer remembers that on Christmas day
1852 he assisted in digging a grave for
Arthur Young, son of J. r. Young,
who was brought home from the army
a corpse, and that 1t rained steadily all
day.
Happiness is like mama. It is to
be gathered in the grains and enjoyed
every day; it will not keep, it can not
be accumulated; nor need we 60 out
ourselves, nor into remote places to
gather it, since it has rained down
from Heaven at our very doors, or
rather within them.-LaWrence Tri.

set the "China Drawing" will include
two moss rose tea sets, one fine chamb-

1t is worth the price of admission to
see the China Stand.

Instead of the usual sermon at the
Presbyterian church Sunday evening
the time was occupied by Christmas
service by the Sunday School; consis-
ting of readings, songs and Rotations.
Those taking part were Ruthie Ewing,
Clara Klaumann, Mamie Evans, Lutte
Thrasher, Tom Met lure, alsoM Miss Maud
Pearce and Miss Maud Richards. We
do not know to whom the credit is due
but the speakers all showed evidence
of having received careful training.
The service was much enjoyed by the
very large audience.
Best carpet warp at Rodman's.
AS a token Of their appreciation of
services well rendered, the Kickapoo
Club last Wednesday presented to A.
c. Scott beautiful baton. The pres
entation speech was made by Mr..
Shelter and was very happily done.
The recipient was utterly surprised,
and contented himself with expressing
his thanks for the gift without any
formality. The baton is of exquisite
workmanship. 1t is of ebony mounted
with silver and ivory tipped. The
handle is delicately inlaid with mother
of pearl. They say that A. e. carries
it in his sleeve during the day and
keeps II under his pillow at night, but
he will probably get over that after
