The weather was remarkably fair
over Christmas, --more like summer
than mid winter. The boys played
croquet when they would have pre-.
ferred TO throw snow-balls. In town
ii was rather quiet; with the excep-
ton of a few arrests, and good deal
of drunkenness. There should be a
law to close all saloons on days recog-
nzed as holidays by the civil laws.
Mr.. Philip FL. Sayles will on JAN
uary LIST open in the room adjoining
Mr.. Crump's hardware store, cigar
factory and retail tobacco store. For

wish this young man success in his
new field, and bespeak for him lib.
eral share of public patronage.

According to custom, the Carrier
will call with New Years Greeting
Tuesday morning. Instead of the
usual advertising sheet, bad verses,
and worse rhyme, he has endeavored
to have some token of presentation
that Will he appreciated at least by
the children and young readers. 1t
IS not the value but the intention and
the reward of having served you with
THE HERALD through rain and shine
for the past year that he wishes to re-
member and be remembered by his
friends and patrons.
