Most OF the boys are acting awfully
dry since the ladies made Ed Goodan

them any OF that malt. He says that
when anything Is too bad to give away

A good many spent the last night OF
the old year watching it depart and the
new enter, but Uncle Jim Stephens
went home to watch and see if the
cows kneeled down at midnight, as he

reports that there is not word OF

II anyone wants to know just how to

Some Of the boys. one day last v"tk,
received q gallon jug Of mineral wutcF

they were being affected with kind of
wabbly and weak condition and felt
l'like they would like to have some one

them stay there for An indefinite tlme.,-
Now that we have seen the close OF
the old year and the advent of the new,
We look back over the history Of the
old, and are free to acknowledge that
while we have made . good many blum
ders, we have met with q good many
disappointments and many times felt
that 1t was hard old world to live In
we are convinced that after all the past
has been pretty good old friend, and
that We have much more TO be-
grateful for than otherwise. and we are
satisfied that the fayors We have receiy-
ed from the old year will greatly over
balance reverses and disappointmeRts,-
and we can only hope that the new one
will deal as kindly toward us as the old
one has, and that we will have but few
complaints, even imaginary, at the
close Of the new one.
