CHURCHILL COUNTY NEWS.

AS we wrote in our last we would visit
our wife's people, we found the old folks
enjoying good health and seemed to be
enjoying 1.-THE wave" Our reception
rather seemed to be of the "marble
heart and CLASSY eye kind but VIZ soon
gave the old inan to understand that We
were there and proposed to camp for
while. The little Hayseeds seemed to
enjoy themselves and soon gave grandad
to know there were no lilies on them -
and the manner in which they disposed
OF the bnckwheat cakes and sorghum
reminded ua OF the time their dad ran
wild in Missouri. The old uan praye,i
that Mrs. Hayseels assertion, that they
were little angels, was true and their
visits, like angels, would be few and far
| between. We returned only a Jew days
! since, US We enjoy sitting around the fire
furnished by others very much this cold
weather.
The Christmas Tree Entertainment
ut Stratton's Hall Christmas evening
was in all respects quit,. successful both
as to number in attendance, and the
literary part OF the program. Every
thing moved smoothly and pleasantly.
The tree WAS loaded with candies, nuts,
oranges, and other good things that de-
light the little tolks. We are pleased to
see our people take srtcli an interest in
these entertainments, and to SET them
getting out OF the old groove they have
| followed 80 long. How much better TO
meet with the children and give them
an evening of pleasure that they will
treasure in memory rs long as life lasts
as one of the bright spots OF chiidhood's
day. How much more eleyating and re.
fining the influence than spending the
