MILTON.

A very solemn ana Impressive SViiilui-
ion service was held in the M. P. Church
last Sabbath morning The thermometer
being among the nineties but few were out.
The solid silver service presented to the
Church byits former pastor, Rev. J. A
Weigand, was used, which reminded the
writer of the happy times in former days
under his faithful pastOrship.
Our photographer has just received an
oil painted scenery six feet square from the
hands of Miss Ollie Atkins, Millions art
lst The picture is a fine piece of painting
A certain father is kicking because his
son wears out so many shoes going to see
his daisy, and the daisy's father is kicking
because of the oil they burn. The mothers
should arbitrate before there is strike or
a wreck.
An editor wishes to know who G. w A
can be say come to Atkins store and
remain five minutes and he'll ascertain
who he is.
The hottest September Milton ever saw
visited this town on a weeks trip. But
how thankful we ought to be that we can
get out in the morning and find some kind
of weather, so don't complain
When MethodlstS fail to kneel in prayer
they are no longer Methodists The meth
cd has failed. Pride and stiff knees are
opposed to humbling, Dust is easier
brushed off than sin.
Some things are difficult to find out but
it's not difficult to find the pretty Milton
girls out, especially of evenings.
If at any time a subscriber sees any
thing in my letter that he or she
does not like, he or she IS at perfect
liberty to take scissors and cut it out
Don't make fuss about it but just cut it
out and burn it and that will settle it.
