of Mrs. Nice's birthday, and the day
was spent very pleasantly.

GIVE THANKS TODAY.

Today is the day that has been set
aside as day of thangsg'iving for the
blessings that we have enjoyed during
the past year There are none so I'M
fortunate but what they can find some
thing for which to be thankful. He
who has prospered in his undertakings
should give thanks, and he who has
been less prosperous should be thank
full that matters have not been worse.
Give thanks for what you have and
strive and hope for better things. And
while, according to time-honored GUS
tom, you eat your turkey and plum
pudding, do not forget your poorer
neighbor, who may have neither. AT
the present time there is much cause
for rejoicing all over our country. The
crops, generally, have been good; busi-
ness is picking up; work is plenty, and
the hard times which has hung owe" us
like pail for the past few years, are
passing away, and the dawn of coming
prosperity may be seen. This is a
cause for rejoicing for all, and, al
though there may be individual cases
In which the future may still look
black, we should not forget that when
our neighbors are prosperous their
prosperity will in time benefit us.
Last Saturday closed the open sea-
son for deer. The number killed this
season, in this vicinity, is very much
less than in any previous year. There
are probably several reasons for this
fact. One is there was no tracking
snow during the open season which
made the deer harder to find. Then
the provision of the law which only al
lowed each person to dispose of two
deer, was sumner on those who have
heretofore made practice of killing
all they could and shipping them to
the large cities to market. Then the
large license fee charged non-residents
served to keep that class of hunters en-
''rely away. There is no question but
what the game law, looked upon as a
measure to protect deer, has proved a
success. But there are a great many
VINO wonder whether the result is
worth the expenses. Under the old
law the recompence of the deputy game
Naraens, was obtained entirely from
the Vlolators of the law, while under
'ne present statute they are paid sal
airy by the county and it hardly seems
'isnt to the average taxpayer who
never hunts, that he should be obliged
wpay Tor the sport of those who do.
Sportsmen want laws to protect the
s"ne they should see that they were
e"lorced, and that without extra cost

COUNTY BOARD

The county board which has been in
session for the past two weeks, expects
to finish it's work and be able to adj
journ by Friday. So far the work has
nearly all been done in committee and,
although several of the committees
have finished their work, none had
made their reports up to the time we
90 to press. The committee on settle
ment with the county officers have eX-'
amined the reports Of the different OIL
GERS and have found everything cor
rect. The committee on justice &C
counts have finished their work and
find the aggregate of justice bills less
than one-half what they were last year.
The committee on general claims have
not finished their work but it is under
stood that there is to be some cutting
of bills engaged in.
The amount of the levy to be made
for the ensuing year has not yet oeen
determined, but it will probably not be
far from forty thousand dollars. The
committee on the equalization OF taxes
are now wrestling with the question OF
apportionment of the state and county
taxes among the different towns, and 1t
is doubtful if they will have their re-
port completed and ready to present TO
the board before tonight.
The state tax for this county, as GER
tilted by the secretary OF state IS
s4146. Besides this, Villas county IS
charged $685. "a for patients in the IN
