large crowd into huge proportions and Our
streets presented quite q lively and busy
appearance.
Ii is an omen of good to see town and
country folks comminGiing in friendly re-
latior~. It draws US closer together AMI
cements and rivets the bonds OF humanity
which should, and was so intended by the
Creator of all things, bind fra:l humanity in
bonds Of love. We can better understand
the needs and necessities Of one another
and thus be able to tighten the burden OF
some poor Struggling brother who is totter-

and by doing so make the world happier
and brighter for ourself. Every good deed
performed will bring its own reward
We too often neglect or ofsn:!m > .,:gt car
eyes and stop our ears to the demands OF
social duties. In the mad rush after the
Almighty Dollar we are forgetful OF our
higher and nobler relations in reference to

pedes our way. totally regadless CT the
suffering aud misery, the plin and sorrow

Let US turn over new leaf and upon
its unsuliied page write the determination
to be mora thoughtful and considerate OF
the feelings of others in our intercourse
with our fellow man and more sociabla with
our friends and neighbors in the future
than we have ever been in the past. This
Can be accomplished without doing ourseif
an injury or without the loss of copper.
And having faithfully and conscientious'y
performed orr duty according to the s.anl,
ards laid down in the laws of nature. the
sun shall shine more brightly, the flowers
bloom more beautiful and the birds sing
more sweetly and We will be the happier
in the thought that the world is better by
reason Of our sojourn in IL.
