joice that they have came to live
among US.

occupying the house thai has been
formerly occupied by Mr.. J. H. P.

If The coffee market advances
you'll know the reason why. Mr..
Trapp McMarus received a cup
from The Christmas tree at the mill
chapel on Friday evening last that
was as large as punch bowl
(m:pd you, we didn't say be was
goiug to use it for punch bowl)
and if he drinks that vessel three
times full three times day it is
certain to advance coffee three
hundred per cent. Let's "chip in"
and pay somebody 10 punch the
bottom out of Trapp's cup
Miss Ina Hill spent part of
the holidays out at Mrs. Maggie
Hills -"far from the madding
crowd" She and Miss Hettie
Sheppard took up their needles
again on Monday at their sewing
rooms at the residence of Mrs. Ida
Sheppard. So much has their
work been admired and 30 thorough
ly satisfied have been their patrons
that these good ladies have been
crowded with work and could not
spend all of the holiday season in
sheer idleness es many mortals
will do.

The hospitable bone of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. #. Minis was the scenn of II
very pleasant social gathering on
Friday evening lasr. Mr.. Lovick
and Miss Matte Minis had invited
a number of their friends to come
together for an evening of social
intercourse. Many gallant beaux
and bewitching bellies were there,
all of whom were in the frolicsome,
rollicksome mood that is all-per-
vading, at the Christmas tide.
After many very interesting games
were played all were invited in to
a sump!uous repast upon which the
inner man regaled. All present
are indeed grateful to their pretty
young hostess and popular young
hosl for this very pleasant even
ing.
Rev. C. E. Bur's and Misses
Kellah Fair and LIME Minis car
riod the box of nice things, which
hal heen purchased by money con-
tributed by The citizens generally,
out to the county homo on Thurs
dav last. Every desire of these
unfortunate people had been an
ti:ipated by those who made the
purchases. Even tobacco and
snuff in abundance for those in the
habit of using the "weed," and
dolls and toys were bought for the
two little children who would
never have been visited by Santa
Claus had not the usual Christmas
box been sent by the good people
