CHRISTMAS entertainments are nov
being arranged by the Sunday schools
and the children are full of pleasant
anticipations.

: nickel plated house numbers, see

them here.
THE All Stars are going into next
season determined to keep up the good
record that they had this year, They
will want games with school teams
in all near by towns.
THIS kind of weather is doing some
fine electioneering for the bond cleo
tion in Seneca. The roads and
streets down there are awful and they
will not be any better until some per-
manent plan of improvement is taken.
Buy your oysters at the Delicatessen
Cafe. Call up phone 142 and they
will deliver them to your house.
:. THERE ale few turkeys left in the
country after the slaughter of
Thanksgiving day but none of them
expect to survive the carnage of
Christmas. They are now getting
ready to pass the divide.
IF you want to give a useful gift to
man woman or child, buy Shoes.
YGet them at Hirschmans; they will be
sure to please.
A FREIGHT train ran off from
Sandpatch to Hyndman day or so
ago and in stopping wrecked three
engines and number OF cars but
hurt no one. Several narrow es
capes from death by the railroad
men were recorded They had to
fly around very lively to keep from
getting it.
PLANS and projects tor Christmas
presents are agitating the minds of
every one and they are busy think
ing of what they will present their
friends for Christman. The same
old story is repeated every year and
it generally ends by selecting some
<th.n g that neither the donor nor re-
ceiyer thinks is appropriate.
UNIoNTowN public school teachers
have decided after holding a meet
ing that the practice of taking up
7 collections to buy them presents for
Christmas and the presentation of
individual presents by the children
ought to stop for the best interests
of the school and they have so mott
fed the school children.

strike and quit running. The
trains were all late and it is thought
that the clock strained itself trying
to hold back to prove that at least
one train was on time in one in
stance. The carpenter force is here
however and they can fix the clock
while they are attending to the other
things about the depot.
ELABORATE preparations are be-
ing made for the turkey supper
which is to be given at the. Baptist
tchurch on next Friday evening.
There will be ice cream and cake
served as well as turkey and coffee.
There will be no admission at the
door All are invited to come and
YSpenQ the evening,
WITH eggs at twenty six cents most
of the hens are showing their indie
pendence by refusing to produce a
single egg There is a local egg fam
inc and there is no prospect that out
side places can help us out. The
scarcity exists everywhere. With
this condition prevailing the hens are
making it worse by refusing to do
anything to prevent it.
IT's an old saying that the first
three days of December rule the
three months of winter. In case it
proves true this year we are to have
very pleasant weather as Saturday
/. Sunday and Monday were as nice
\ days as one could wish. They are
known as Ember days and the sup
Nstition that they have an in
fuence on the winter is one of Ger
man origin.
AT Viewers grocery they have loose
barley, hominy, rolled oats, soups,
N lima and kidney beans and the choic-
Est meats with which to cook them.
Also fresh oysters every day, the best
canned goods in the market, pickles
in bottles and in bulk. They order
your turkey and supply the cranber-
&ries, celery, cabbage and pumpkin.
Real Jersey sweet potatoes, nice ones
received each week. The best of ev-
erything kept by an exclusive grocery.
GENERAL complaint that there is
a great scarcity of rabbits this fall
is heard. The claim is made that
the ferret owners by killing off the
females which stay in burrows are
gradually celebrating the rabbits.
Those who want to hunt should see
to it that when the grand jury gets
together again the ferret hunters are
made to suffer. A man can be in.
dicted for simply keeping ferret.
