A Happy New Year.
Nav cut the cake?
We understand that an oystersupper
under the auspices of the M. u church
will be given iii the near future.
Many of our farmers INDUCED IN
Christmas festivities and kept up their
Qualifications to the wee sma hours.
The fire fiend came near destroying
our photograph gallery, but owing 10
prompt and efficient efforts OF Fremont
Amateur Fire Brigade the purifying
nrocess was staid and the fire extln-
guished without loss.
iFrom another correspondent
The new church is fast nearing com-
pletion and Fremont township VIII
be like Brooklyn, the town OF churches
and chapels.
Fremont township will add largely
to it's assessed valuation next year.
About thirty have made proof on their
homesteads the past season..
1t is hoped by the taxpayers oil Ere
mont township that their representa-
tive on the the county board will see
that Fremont township gets an ap-
proprjation from the county road and
bridge fund to assist in building pass
able road across the big canyon, as it is
called, The number of settlers VINO
have filed on land in this vicinity VIII
warrant the outlay and as good citizens
will demand it.
There are rumors that an application
for a school to be built OF the west
side of the big canyon will be made by
the residents there to the township
school board at an early date. They
have some twenty-five children OF
school age. The school clerk should
see that the names of these children are
enrolled on the next school census re-
turns as every child adds to the ap-
preparation received from the state.
Around the neighborhood where your
scribbler resides there are besides him
self, a number of other gents who are
still living in single bliss, but now the
Chapel has been to church, are think
ing seriously of doubling their bliss on
the strength Of the saying, "that what
will keep one will keep two" One
neighbor, who is confirmed woman
hater, remarked while the boys were
giving their views at the Fremont
central club house, that this thing Of
there being enough for two might be
all right and as they said be double
bliss, but later on, while singing After
the Bawl is Over,'' most of them would
find 1t was blister.
By the way, speaking of the club re
minds me OF my new invention, patent
applied for, which I call my kaledi
scope-mind-r22 fading and ribbon record
ing tell-to the -boys-aphone, for which
1 predict wonderful success in con
nection with my contemporary cores

poetical instrument, which he has
kindly loaned me to experiment with
and with which expect to revolution
ize the world in time, but first dear ole
Fremont On setting the machine ;
few nights ago with the poetical attach
ment | was surprised and delighted tx
find that they worked in perfect har
mony though have not been able t,
find the right bifrocation; in which tx
to drop my nickle to change the metre
of the rythmetical flow. In the hero

mind reader gave me the following
for what it is worth, SO don't blame m,
for the revolutions: "The COURIER
