 added to the list of papers to be read
 at the 75th anniversary of the Bap- ssset church the 2Oth inst. ?. Thanksgiving day was exceptional lily fine, so that the multitudes all
 over the land could attend divine ser

 MT. and Mrs. Nathan Wards, Friday
 evening last. On the return an acci- dent happened to Himmeler's bus, but no one was injured. Indications, such as returning teams
 in the small hours of the night east
 ward, over the frozen "Giants' Cause
 way in front of our premises, point
 ed to the fact that there was quite a gathering at Cartier's pavilion dance last week Wednesday night. Willis
 Vanamburg drew the duck prize,
 While Hans M. Hansen, Jr., drew the chicken prize.
 We hereby invent and begin to use that long wished for personal pro- noun covering the two genders, male
 and female-hes for "he or she, ''
 and mer for "him or her,' thus "The man with the wooden face' is missing from our free circulating li-
 brary. Will "hes'' kindly return, and we will thank "mer'' therefor.
 It seems all right at first, but so does everything in the initiative. This is Thanksgiving day, too, as we write.
 It will be noticed the two proposed
 new pronouns embrace the two phrases
 letters from each.

 . Friends in this vicinity were great ly shocked and pained to learn of the nntimely death of Mrs. Elizabeth s.
