Comfrey has more enterprise to the
square inch than many town three
| times Its size. The little town over there
is growing quite fast. Many a new house
is going up, and a year hence the popu-
lation will be nearly doubled. The
council has had the streets graded and
new sidewalks are completed both sides
of Main street for three blocks A large
new Catholic church has been complet-
ed, making two places of worship. The
hotel is to be enlarged in order to ac-
commodate'the large amount of travel,
and everywhere there is an air of push
and enterprise by its business men. The
Times Of that place is weekly filled with
neat advertisements of nearly every Lus-
mess mar in the place, each telling the
public what he has to sell. One firm
last week had a whole page announce
ment. This shows extraordinary enter
prise, and it is the Way Comfrey citizens
are doing IN making their town a fine
trade center. There is no reason why in
five years Comfrey will not be town of
1000 people, for it has territory as
rich and large as any town in the state.

1t IL said that man over at Knox
the other night on his way home from
town, in passing through q grove
heard strange noise. After investi-
eating he found it came from mon
ster rattlesnake. 1t was pinioned to
q log by a lsrge limb broken from
tree. He set the snake free and
went on his journey homeward un-
conscious that the snake was follow
ing. He sat down TO supper and ir
picking up spoon which be had
carelessly dropped on the floor,
again saw the snake. He fed it and
they became fast friends. The snake
would eat from his hands, wrap
around his neck and hug him, and
sleep coiled up at the foot Of his bed.
This continued for week or more.
But one night the man was restless
and couldn't sleep. He called to the
snake and he didn'trespond as usual,
so he arose, lighted the lamp and be-
gan a search for bis pet. He found
the snake in the parlor wrapped
around the neck Of burglar, with
its tail hanging out of the open Wind
ow rafting for the night watch. No
affidavit goes with this.

A CAROL.
BY WILLIAM CANTON.

This gospel sang the angels bright:
Lord Jhesu shall be born this night;
Born not in house nor yet In hall,
Wrapped not in purple nor In pail.
Rocked not In silver. neither gold;
This word the giles sang OF old;;
Nor christened with white wine nor red,
This word of old the angels said
or Him which holdeth in His hand
The strong sea and green land.
This thrice and four times happy night
These tidings sang the angels bright
Forlorn. BETWEEN ear and, horn,
A babe shall Jhesu Lord be born.
A weeping babe in all the cold -
This word the angels sang of old
And wisps of hay shall be his bed;
This word OF old the agcls said
OF Him which keepth in His hand
The strong sea and green land.
A babe and Lord. Thou Jhesu. bright
Let all and some now sing this night
Betwixt our sorrow and our sin,
Be thou newborn our hearts within
Newborn, dear babe and little King,
So letten some and all men sing
TO wipe for us our tears away.
This night so letten all men say
OF Him which spake, and 10 they be-
The green land and streag sea.

In Memoriam.

1t is with saddened hearts and
subdued feelings that we an
nounce the death of Guy Hixson,
son of Mr.. j. Clayton Hixson,
which occurred at the home of his
father in Buck Valley, on Thurs
day December 20, 1900, at the
early age of IA years, 10 months
and 25 days.
Guy was a noble, manly boy
idolized by his father and sister
who are called to mourn his seem
ingly untimely death as well as
by the entire family. He was a
favorite among his associates
wherever known.
Guy, until recently, seemed to
be in robust health; but during
the last two or three weeks of his
life, he was great sufferer from
spasmodic action of the heart.
During the entire period of his
suffering, there was never heard
from his lips word of complaint,
but to the very end, he bore his
affiiction with a christian forti-
tude and resignation that were
astonishing. Nothing was left
undone that medical skill and the
goodly Offices of kind friends and
nelghbors could devise; but by
the command of Him who doeth
all things well, he has gone out
from among us.
"Though severed far, by faith we meet
Around one common mercy seat, ("
A FRIEND.
