To Our Patrons.
Like all of you, we folks who make
THE ENQUIRER have been doing lots OF
hard work this year. Whether we have
done as much good as many of you, we
are unable to say; but, at the sameti me
we have not done much harm. But most
of you are going to take day or two of
for Christmas, are you not? We think
you are entitled to- 1t. We also think
that we are entitled to a few
days off. Anyhow, in conformity with
established precedent, we are going to
take it. But we are not going to take as
much as heretofore. Last year there was
an omission of two issues. This year we
will omit only one, and that will be that
of next Wednesday. The paper, Dec
volente, will appear next Saturday as u.s.
ual. In the meantime, we wish you all
merry Christmas, and also happy and
prosperous New Year.
School Closing.
The superintendent and'teachers of the
Yorkville Graded school, gave closing
entertainment last Tuesday. 1t was at
tended by as many people as could be
conveniently accommodated in the vari-
GUS recitation rooms, and the visitors were
not only astonished but delighted: Few
of them were aware before that their
school is of such high standard Of effi-
cheney. Even Chairman Lewis, of the
board Of trustees, who has all along been
watching the matter up as closely as If he
had mortgage on the whole business, re-
monstrated with Superintendent Dendy
for not having t"ld the board beforehand
that the exhibition was to be so elaborate
and creditable. why" said Chairman
Lewis, 1--WE would have given you the
opera house and had out the whole town"
A patron was so delighted that he has
sent THE ENQUIRER highly compli-
mentary communication which, for lack
of available space just now, will appear
later.

Fined at Tirzah.
After leaving Yorkville last Thursday,
young McQuary got into trouble at Tir-
zah but it was not on account OF the dis
pensary. Leaving his horse hitched to
post, he went into the postoffice to get his
mail. The horse got on the sidewalk,
and this meant a violation of the town
ordinance, punishable by a fine of 81.
The Tirzah people do not allow any
body to violate their ordinances and
the fine was imposed. McQuary
started to pay up without protest; but the
sympathetic bystanders would permit
