future of the past we are minded of
those things which might have been, had
we but the opportunity to look ahead
far enough to see what has been done
along the same lines in different walks
of life. As it is our hind sight seems to
be of 10 more use than our foresight.
Xmas got the best of the HERALD
force, which accounts for the deficient
news service in this issue. We will
print a paper in future that will drive
the old man away from home, sour
the sponge in the bread pan and put out
the kitchen fire. All we ask is that the
people stand by us in times of great dis
tress.
The HERALD force was regally en-
tertained over a Christmas turkey at the
Home restaurant, oakley and Bronson
proprietors. 1t was one of those oc-
c%asions where the inner man is feasted
to fullness and the memory receives a
picture of plenty and peace long to be
retained. The Home restaurant sets up
big dinners.
The social dance at Yulc's last Friday
was the biggest and best ever given at
that hospitable house. Splendid music
and plenty to eat as is usual on such oc-
casions at that place. An impromptu
smash-up cut off the attendance of a
company from Neihart but the house
was full and everybody present had a
good time.
When a man is through his days
work and is sitting down in the house
resting, he cannot read the advertise.
ments on the fences, and the handbills
and circulars that were left on the door,
step during the day have been blown
away or destroyed. Then it is that the
attractive advertisements in the local
paper dOeth effective work.
The various Sunday schools of Nei-
hart treated their respective scholars to
a Christmas tree loaded with presents
and good things. Santa Claus went the
rounds and pleased young and old by
his quaint saying, and antiquated APP
pearance. The children spoke pieces
and sung songs, until every old foagy in
town wished he was young again.

Miss s.. E. Curtis has left her Neihart
associations, taking up her residence in
White Sulphur Springs, where she is
about to enter upon the duties of county
superintendent of schools. The Hus-
bandman prints the following:
"Miss S. E. Curtis, school superintend-
ent elect, came over from Ncihart Thurs

ing somewhat of n lively appearance and
the citizens generally confident of the
future prosperity of Gilt Edge. A num-
Der of men were at work in the mill and
at the mines. The rooster and the
crusher were also in full blast. 1t was
Mr.. Ammon's intention to make a CT can
up on Monday, but he has been delayed
for a few days by unavoidable accidents.
Mr.. Ammon has declared his intention
of staying with the Gilt Edge mine until
he has demonstrated to the people that
it is a paying proposition. We admire
his pluck, energy and staying qualities.
