At the Christmas tree at the Metho-
dist church. Christmas eve, the editor
was the recipient of a most beautiful
gift from some unknown lady admirer.
The gift was handsome elk damask
towel, beautifully hand embroidered and
with our name artistically worked in
silk. Many, many thanks. We will
endeavor to keep our face clean from
now on, but will use the old Office towel
as the new one is two pretty to soil.
Prof. Novinger and Charlie Dill went
about four miles south of town Monday
to shoot rabbits and bagged couple of
fine deer. Proud, housekeeping young
men are not in it with this pair. Nov
niger AYERS that only by using the Mis-
souri, style of hunting was the killing
made. viz, to find deer tied, and then
fill him SO full of bullets that a prosUec-
tor would locate him FOR lead mine.
That the deer were shot at close range is
evident, as they were both badly powder
burnt.
Thomas Starrh and W W. Stead have
fled, with the recorder, their annual
proof of labor performed on their placer
mines, as is required by Section 31C1 as
amended by section Of the laws Of 1895
and in which it says: The failure to file
such affidavit, shall be considered prima
facie evidence that such labor has not
been done. As there are over 200 placer
claims in Lincoln county, the most Of
which have not fled their proof of labor
for 1897, there will be large number Of
them jumped on the first OF January.
The proper thing for claim owners to do.
is 70 forward their annual proof to the
auditor forthwith.
Hail the year 1881 Yet many viii it
cast down and many raise up; many de-
stroy and many make alive. Hope will
it fulfil in some and send utter despair
to others. As in the years that have
passed, so in 1898, will there be simoons,
tornadoes, zephyrs and Gains hail, rain,
snow and heart-warming sunshine.
There shall be wars, sorrows, pains,
Joys, gladnesses, droughts, foods, plenty
and famine. War shall rage here and
there, while peace will be serene IN most
places. Birds shall sing sweetest songs
at matin and eventide, while wild beasts
shall utter their terrifying cries. What
will the year bring to you, and you, and
you?
