A Pleasant Day az Brightside


Last Saturday, December 5tb, being
the birthday of W. A. Hickman, the

BILE home to honor him with their smiling

gan to pour in on him.
Among those invited by his good wife
were J. Wakemar and family and A. }

Funkhouser and wife, of Mt. Olive j..
Wletz and wife and NJ. Grabill and wife,
of BartonsvIlle, and J. Z. Copp and lami'
~. of KernstOwn.
After being warmly greeted and few
common remarks, such as Chow did you
leave them at home ?" the hour for dinner
was announced, which we were glad to
hear, and which all seemed to heartily
enjoy, as the table was a perfect mass OF
palatable things which the kind hostess
so well knows how to prepare.
After spending a most delightful day
we returned to our dear home. Willow
Brook, much pleased with our days ont
ing, trusting w. A. may live to enjoy many
more such pleasant surprise birth day

"Your attention is also requested to the

entitled "A Rival of the YOsemite--the
Canon of the South Fork Of Kings River,
California 1t furnishes maps of this
section and is illustrated by most ad-
m,rable engrayiDgs of the wonderful seen
ery there existing. The eDgravings are
chiefly from the pencil of Mr.. Charles d.
Robinson. These gentlemen, as well as
the editors of The Century, especially Mr.
johnson, have taken great personal in
forest in the forest reserves in California,
and are worthy of great consideration,
both from their experience and intelli,
gence. The magazine article mentioned
advocates the extension of the Sequoia
National Park so as to embrace the Kings
River region and the Kaweah and Tult
Seouoia groves. The boundaries are there
set forth. The subject is recommended
to your favorable consideration and ac

The Local Paper.

The city papers are all right If you
want them, but it is the local paper that
advertises your business, your numerous
societies, your churches, your schools,
sympathizes with you in your prosperity.
In short, it is your local paper that men
tons the thousand and one items in which
you are interested during the year, and
which you do not fud in the city papers.
1t is the home paper that records your
births, publishes your marriage, and
chronicles your death. To the great
jouInals-the forty page compendiums OF
the daily hal penings of the world-you
are not even cypher. To get the least
notice from them you must steal 500, OOO,
commit an attrociOus murder, or have
half dozen living wives. But your local
paper watches over you with loving
solicitude all the time. If you strike it
rich in lottery, it Is glad, and says so.
II you are sick it is sorry, and hopes you
will soon be well. 1t tells when you
come and when you go WHEN your house
burns down, or you build new one
when your Johnnie has the mumps OF
your Mary has the measels, and how
much little Peter weighed on arrival
And when yon require the whole street
and both sidewalks to get home from the
lodge, it shuts both eyes and "mum's thu
word" Yes, take the big papers If yoI
are interested in what is gong on II
Africa, but If you want TO keep up will
your own biography, take the home paper

inches; one for each day of the year, to
be removed daily, and one for the entire
year. Each slip bears a short paragraph
pertaining to cycling or some kindred
subject At the bottom of each leaf is a
blank for memoranda. The stand IS an
entirely new departure. being made OF
sheet metal finished IN ivory plack, and is
very compact. At the close OF the year

is fresh and new, and comprises notable
events in cycling, opinicns of physicians
and clergymen, hints about road making,
