The Jan. No. of 50. Nicholas is at hand
and it is most pleasing number We
always open this magazine with delight,
and if we were only rich, should delight
in being able to send it as Christmas
and New Years Gift to every boy and girl
in the county.
1t is bad popularity of human nature,
as exhibited in about one man in three,
that men forget hundred favors done
them and become to hate a man whom
they imagine has done them a single
wrong. In keeping accounts of this kind
like debts and credits are not Of equal
value.
1t will save type if we do not say for
each locality in this whole region Christ
mas exercises were held on Tuesday even
ing, large number attending. Every
body was remembered in the gifts be-
slowed and distributed"
The above is literally true, and we are
glad that at least once a year, all are
made conscious of the fact that good
friends remember us.
Mr.. and Mrs Worthen desire to express
through the MONITOR their sincere thanks
/ to the members of their Sunday School
classes, and to the ladies of the M. E. So
ciety, for the beautiful and valuable pres
ents with which they were remembered
on Christmas eve. Much as they prize the
gifts, the spirit of love with which they
were provided is still more precious.
That Heavens great boon to men, of
whom all our richest gifts are but faint
types and shadows, may be accepted and
held of you in everlasting possession,
is their prayer.
Ellery H. Webster has received the APP
pointed of postmaster. and will be installed

the work He has been in rather delicate
health for the last few years and his many
friends are glad that he has place where
his work will not be quite SO laborious
Mr.. Dwlnell, who voluntarily relinquishes
the office, has made a first class postmas-

The Business Mems Carnival which
is being prepared by the ladies of the
Cong. church, will be held in the Opera
Hall on Saturday evening next. We I'M
derstand that over sixty branches of bus
l,o
cot know what this entertainment is
Each branch of business is represented
by young lady whose costume advertises
the business or occupation of some per-
son, and the variety of costumes, comical
and otherwise, make most pleasing and
attractive entertainment. The ladies are
taking much pains to get this up and
it is both novel and interesting. 1t has
had great success in other localities. Adj
mission 25 cents; children Is cents.
The Haywood Chair Co. of Fitchburg,
Mass, which has been doing a branch
business here for the last thirty years in
the supply of chair stock, have decided
to wind up their business here soon, per-
haps when the lumber on lot or two of
land is drawn in and cut. The timber in
this region is pretty we'll cut off, and the
stock cut out here costs more than the
same bought of smaller mills about the
country. The company suffers from sharp
competition in all directions and reports
say it is liable to close business ere long.
