every obligation their respective offices
imposes, for. to the faithful and con-
scientfous compliance with their obi.

reports from various parts of the coun-

meat to run them through next year.

time. and will not forget as we

for some time.
We have reports of good deal Of
measles in this surrounding country.
They are a despisable sickness, a
growing pest, and holy terror in a
free school. 'Tis pity that they
can't be prevented and tits strange,
too, they seem just to loom up-to
grow out of nothing, and nearly al"
ways just about this time Of the year
or little later. They spread like
wildfire, are as sneaking as hungry
mink, travelling to ana through bed
rooms while innocent victims sleep.
One of the most enjoyable affairs
of the holidays was the entertainment
given by Mrs. J. F. Permenter. The
hospitality of the good women of this
section is unsurpassed and Mrs.
Permenter seems always foremost in
arranging for the young people to
have pleasant times and is so gener-
GUS and good in her home that one
can't help but enjoy themselves when
there. Every one had a good time
and we feel much indebted to her for
the chance of making known our
affections.
