IF the Christmas edition Of the Sus-
iex Register aud i'm my opinion it is
he finest paper of tue kind evergot-
ten out in Sussex, aud the compts in |
5hat Office need not be ashamed of
the job.
The first snow of.the winter came
on Friday last, but as only am Use,
or two fell, it did not amount &,
much The law says no hunting
when snow covers the ground, but
several hunters forgot that point,
and as no game was shot the law
was not broken, in their estimation.
The Mite party at Mrs Nellie Bev-
ans ON Thursday evening brought
out large attendance, and, judg-
ing by the time some of the young
folks reached home they must have
had a good time.
S. o. IS Of the opinion that I am
thinking that Pike Co. hayseeds are
dead, have cold feet, etc. etc. No
sir rec 1 am thinking no such thing,
but was lead to infer such was the
fact from their non appearance at
the Institute As to being "Punkin"
rdisers that is an honest occupation,
and when we have a good crop we
are right in it. Then you say we
had free bridge going and coming
Now, don't prevarcate for we paid
our toll in good coin of the realm,
and had enough left to "liquidate'
il good Pike Co. style S. 0. stands
for sour, small or scrub oak ! don
know which, and when 1 come over
next time let us lquidate together
Enjoy the meeting. OF course we
did, or we would have walked out
before the speaker was half done, as
some of the Pike 20 people did
The game season has ended, ant

Trapping will continue and many
rabbits will be caught, the plea be
ing made that the trap was set foi
skunks
Sheep damage is pretty costly
business in Pike, judging by th'
statement IN your last issue Owe
here dogs only kill or damage th'
choicest animals .n the flock (neve
I poor one), but l see by the mp
praisement that the dogs took th'
| good and poor alike, Poor dogs. Blu
the fees, almost 3496 of the appraise
ment. That is entirely too much
Who pays that?
The grand shoot at Layton on Fri
LAY afternoon brought out quite
number to try their skill at breaking
the blue rocks Few straight score
we're made and when the wind u
came Virgil McMams had 5 turkeys
and the best score ANY of the shoot
ers. Some were lucky in gettin
one turkey Everything passed Of
to the satisfaction of all.
Volunteers will now understan
where the regular officers get thei
brutality, if they will carefully rea
the evidence in the Booz investil
tion now going on at West Poin
Il seems almost incredible that tn
cadets at that institution woul
stoop so low as to punish their com
rades so that their life is endangei
ed. If hazing cannot be abolished
: abolish the institution.
Charles Bensley, who has hee
very sick for some time, is reporte

he will be able to go out in fe,
days.
Our schools will reopen on Jan
