at the Presbyterian church was one OF
the most successful ever given by
children in the town. The music was
of a high character and represented
the favorite cradle songs Of the vari-
Gus nations. The children were dress

represented, and made novel and
pleasing appearance. Both the Choir

IlftI.
This fall has been the means of a
great saving to everyone. The mer-
chants are not at all delighted over
the fact that they have not sold their
usual amount of fall stocks on ac-
count it being so pleasant that people
haven't felt the need of the heavy
goods yet The farmers have saved
on their feed stuff and everyone who
uses coal for fuel has been able to get
along with less than usual. The saw
ing in every way has been immense
and it may be some time before the
weather man will cause the popula-
tion to pay for their immunity up to
this time.
THE roads are not SO bad as yet but
they will be awful later on as they
are every winter and as they will be
every winter until the people quit
following In the same old discredited
plan and begin to make roads that
are roads. When the plan Of making
scientific roads prevails the farmers
will be as near to town in winter as
they are in summer. They can get
In and out with ease instead of at the
expense OF life and limb as at present.
There is only one side to the good
road movement and it is bound te
come sooner or later People will
not forever go about things In exactly
the worst kind OF way.
SOME men who are careful obsery-
ers and are always looking to wind
ward say that panic or business
collapse should one come will do less
damage here than almost anywhere
else. The growth in this vicinity
would probably not be seriously af-
fected in such an event and small
proportion Of our people are involv-
ed to such degree that foreclosure
would be necessary. The building
Of railroads, the river improvement
and numerous large private enter
prises would probably not stop The
gentlcman's idea is that only a Very
few who are hanging on the ragged
edge anyway would succumb.
