We have about made up our
mind that as this is the last issue of
the Herald for 1903 we will write no
more for it this year. Along with
the encouraging words received
from various sources the past year
we have also been the recipient of
sufficient cussing to give it a flavor.

temper are making sad inroads

or Bill Jones yellow dog will never
wrinkle his nose at passing team,

someone gets hot because we forgot
them. We OftentimeS become dis.
