First and last, once and always.
l have come to the first call oil

the last, perhaps.
1t seems that Mr.. Jay Bird is
tired of l. G. u, from the run OF
his communication. My parents
taught me when l Was youth tina,
1t was the heighth of ill.manners
for two TO talk in the same house,
and that being the case, l will va
cacate the char and let Mr.. Jay
Bird try h,s hand. From what he
says he must be we'll posted. But
he Is mistaken about my girl
being gone, it IS Mr.. Jay
Birds girl not mine. l hope to see
some nice newsy and spicy letters
from Mr.. Jay Bird.
News items are very scarce this
week. --
The health Is very good atpresent.
Onr roaos are getting very bad
on account of so much log hauling.
The farmers are about through
with their crops and are preparing
for another crop IN 1908.
Our public school is moving on
very nicely with an average attend.

Our Sunday School Is advancing
very fast. There was collection

There was not a Sunday School

Man at ChristmaStide.

Man at Christmastide.
81
What IS man at the time that is
called "Xmas" that he should yaunt
himself, that he should say unto
himself: "Lo, am a good many?"
Verify be is about three for cent,
and no sales.
Behold, if he has wife, she say
eth unto him: This is Xmas" and
taketh from him all the KS he hath.
That she may buy presents there
with.
She attireth herself IN fine raj
ment and goeth unto the market
places, where everything is sold for
half the price thereof, yet no one
loseth money.
She meeteth other women that
have husbands, and sayeth unto
them:
"Iruly, John is a good husband.
Behold, has he not given me al! his
wealth, that l may buy glfts?'
And the other women, with one
voice, say:
"Surely, my husband Is the same
kind of man.
And they smile one upon the
other with smiles tina, hold more
language than the dictionary.
She goeth about from merchant
to me, chant, saying to one: IL am
just looking to-day" and to an
other, "send that mp
And she buyeth gifts for her
folks and her friends folks.
Toys and dollies and pictures she
purchases.
Also slippers for the Minister.
And bookmark for the Minis
ter's wife.
She getteth statue of Apollo for
her aunt and a copy of "Quo Vadis'
for her uncle.
A pipe that needeth a mustard
draft, she chooseth for her brother.
And a necktle that would put an
alarm clock out of commission she
getteth for her nephew.
For her husband she buyeth a
powder box and fur boa and a
parlor lamp and a cameo brooch
and a piano cover.
Likewise motto, which readeih:
stIt is better to give than to re-
ceive."
Whereupon he ret1ecteth that
under the circumstances there are
arguments for the one side as well
as for the other.
Yet again, consider the man who
hath no wlfe-doth he not come to
the same end?
He spendelb all that he hath for
a gift for the maiden that he con-
sidereth his Sunday regular.
And he sendeth also the Amerl-
can Beauty roses and the large box
of bonbons.
And the result is that be eateth
the bonbon which is called the
baked bean, and smoketh the Hack
mans Pride cigar for six months
in his effort to make himself even
financially.
But his sweetheart forgetteth
him not; nay, she doth not over
look him.
She sendeth HIM something that
is tied with blue ribbons and hath
a shape like 10 cents worth of hay.
And he knoweth not if it be
tobacco holder or glove box.
So he hangeth it upon the wall
and putteth matches in it.
And when be seeth the maiden.
she askelh HIM how he like,h the
penwiper she hath wolketh for him
with her own far hand.
Yea, verify man IS not much.
Not with any exceeding much
ness at any rate.
Peradventure he getteth next to
himself and communeth with him
self, saying:
"Of a truth l will hang up my
hose.
"Also my watch and my over
coat and my jewelry.
For 1t is better to give than to
receive, but it is more wearing on
the treasury department"
Surely, man Is busted commu-
nifty after Christmas, and he is moi
often upon the map at other times
and seasons.
Is it not so, even as it is type
written?
Yea, truly, very much so. Yes,

Speaking of editor and postofffce,
can anyone name two more worthy

are found in all the borders of the
land, than the country editor and
the country postmaster?
None can gainsay the importan:
and noteworthy service these two
render to their community, and
often too for but magre compensa-
ton. Yet in the heydey of life they
are overlooked or receive scant
praise. These auasi-pu bic servants
with their endless round of duties
and few emoluments and fewer
holidays may not be great in the
worlds estimation, but they perform
good service in helping to make
mankind contented and happy. II
some OF the conspicuous and great
ones whose names are continually
being sounded would only do as

make the country grand-the village

GOOD SUGGESTION.
And ONE That Fast End People Would
Derive the Benef fit of.

Many citizens are wondering why
the street car company do not provide
the cars with colored lights SO that
patrons can distinguish the destination
Of cars without having to stop them
when waning car after dark. The
street corners are lined every evening
With people who want particular car,
and of course stamp and storm when
they have to wait in the cold for a car.
A car may be in sight for ten minutes,
but it is not until it has approached
within hailing distance that they can
determine that it is Or is not, the car
which will convey them TO their des-
tination. Many people think that it
would be an easy matter for the com
pany to equip cars of particular des
uination with a particular light. If
it were not an easy matter, it is prob
able that they would not suggest to
the manager of the company the con-
VenIence that such reign would
bring to their patrons. If such a
course is expensive and Impractical in
the operation of an up to date street
car line, the general public would be
grateful if Manager Warren would ex-
plain.

Tax Collector Coming.

Today is the time when all personal
taxes are supposed to have been paid.
If you have not seen the city treasurer
you will receive personal visit and
if the tax is not forthcoming suit will
be commenced. The personal tax has
been fairly we'll paid in but there are
some who will be gently reminded to
letter.
With the possible exception of some
big taxes the year promises to see the
the greatest amount of taxes collected
that have been turned in for quite a
while. The smaller taxpayers are
paying up in large numbers all of the
time while some good sized amounts
are being received all of the time.
Taxes will be received for some time
yet and it is generally toward the end
of the time limit before the large pro-
perty holders pay up their taxes
There are insurance taxes and other
things of that nature to be collected
yet.

asked for an adjournment for week.
This was granted, the case being set
for Feb. 5 at O'Clock. Bail was fixed

AT REST.

In spite of the intense cold which
: suddenly developed during the fore
noon, a great many friends and bust
ness associates of the late Josiah w.
Taylor assembled, at the family re 81
dence on Seventh st. and Thompson
Ave, at O'Clock Sunday afternoon
January 26th. to pay their last tribute
of respect to him whom they should
no more see upon this earth.
MIR. Taylor passed away at 10 o'clock
Friday morning, Jan. oath, after a
long illness which, fully two years ago,
forced him to abandon active business
pursuits. At one time he was in the
grocery business, but left that to again
engage in the real estate business, that
being his chosen calling, and in which
he at one time was very successful.
Mr.. Taylor was born in Railway, n.
j., in 1852, celebrating his forty ninth
birthday the first day of last Septem-
Der. He leave besides loving and
devoted wife and two daughters,
Annie and Roberta, and one son,
Willie, in this city, his aged parents,
three brothers and sisters in Brooklyn,
\. Y. He was the eldest son, and his
death records the first break in the
family circle.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Stevens of the First Presbyterian
Church, of which Mr.. Taylor was a
member, and the remarks, though
brief, were most appropriate and full
of comfort for the sorrowing ones.
Mr.. Grafton Mason sang "Lead Kindly
Light" the beautiful words of which
express the faith and trust of those
left in sorrow, as wei, as of him who
has gone to his reward.
1nterment was made at WOOdlaWn
cemetery, the vaulC being used until
spring James Bardon, b. y. Mcrren.
Geo. Hudnall. ii. H. Smith, w. H.
Webb and Geo Brooks were the
friends chosen to bear the remains to
their last resting place.
The floral offerings with expressions
of sympathy were many, and helped
to encourage and strengthen the brett
ones for the cares and responsibilities
of the future.
