GREELEY GREETING.

In spite of bleak November's chill
The Dandelion is blooming still.
Mark Cameron butchered fine
young beef Saturday for which there
was great demand in the neighbour
hood.
Martin Kness and family left their
Greeley farm Thursday and are now
happily located in the county seat.
Ira Johnson bought span of sup
erfne black FLIES OF Robert Wilson
near Bear Grove.
Messers Ira Johnson and viii
land and spent pleasant Sabbath at
the home of Peter Johnson.
What consolation it is to know
that God is making use of us! How
sweet is the rest of him who is con-
scious of being an instrument in God s
hands! But, oh, how terrible it is
to discover that ones life has been
stubborn opposition to the will OF
God.
Fate, it seems, has decreed that |
shall keep bachelors hall. | accept
the situation as the natural and in
evitable consequence of past conduct.
| shall never forget my first attempt
at cooking. Over-confident that L
could get up good meal, | proceeded
to fry some potatoes. | did them
crisp and brown in beef's tallow, and
ate heartily of them. That settled the
potato business. | have never been
able to eat any potatoes since. Those
potatoes are with me yet. SO far, my
digestive powers have made no head
way upon them, and should ! he SO
fortunate as to be subjected To post
norton examination will wager a
can of cOves that the doctors will lind
that batch of fried potatoes. How
ever, this is but one of the many
phases of punishment justly due to
him who attempts to build home
without the most essential element.
Yes, some bachelors make Semblance
of success; but a closer inspection
would reveal the fact that their life is
but callOuS around an aching heart,
WHERE TO GUARD.
If you are but the product of your
thoughts,
1t well behOoves You then to guard
your thinker.
Your life will be all sulIied with dark
blOtS
If you permit the Devil there to
tinker.
Just as man thinks, they say that so
lis vain an evil thought to try to
hide.
Twill dance double shuttle on your
phiz.
And to and fro across your features
glide.
THE ONE MOTIVE TO INCREASE
HAPPINESS.
Even from physical point of view
happiness is one of the best of tonics.
Little thrills of happiness diffused
throughout the nervous system will
repulse disease and re-invigorate an
organism. Happiness gives us moral
strength and is conducive to intel
lectuality. These very precious facts
can be CLEANED by a very little obser
walton. Knowing this, why do we
not put forth greater effort to cult
vate this rare little plant that yields
such a grateful Alternative. Why not
unite in our endeavors to set it GER
minating ia every human heart. Let
one not give all his attention to his
own heart. 1t is wholesome TO meet a
happy person. A patient is greatly
benefited by the visit of cheerful
doctor even though no medicine be
given. Are you sad and melancholy
If SO, go forth and commune with
some one who is habitVally happy.
IT will give you immediate relief.
This seems TO be an aye in which each
individual is trying TO make himself
au insulated center OF happiness with
out any regard for the happiness OI
Others. Let us imagine the reverse
of these cUuditions--cOn where.
in each individual is striving to make
of himself a source Of happiness to
others with no care about his Owr
happiness. What would result? We
should feel ourselves gliding rapidly
into milienial conditions. Confidence
would mount TO its maximum beigh
and bring to our environment thu
elements of long CHERISHED ideals
Pubic utilities would operate only il
behalf of The people and refuse t.
yield their products to spec IlatiOa
The circulation of the social body
would gather in the re,e,saries o
