Our old and much respected citizen of

confined 10 the house for some time suf-
fering with an abscesso on his cheek bone,
is reported as feeling much better today.
DIR. Rate probed the abscess letting out
the puss, which gave the old gentleman
considerable relief, and he is recovering
his appetite. All of which is good news
which We are glad to hear.
The weather in this locality all through
the autumn and winter has on the whole
been very fine and pleasant. The time
however has arrived when We may ex-
pect snow and plenty of it, and it is or
ought to be welcome. The ground is
very dry, and We need the moisture for
the sake of the grass and the crops the
coming season. 1t will besides feed the
springs and keep the streams running.
