"A genuine January thaw prevailed
all day Monday. during which an abun-
dance of rain fell. The temperature was
high enough to please the tobacco men
who still needed casing weather, but
damp snow followed in the wake of the
storm, almost enough to furnish run of
sleighing.
d. I. Wilson lost his highly priced
surrey mare by peculiar accident last
Friday. While loose in a box stall in
some inexplainable manner she broke
her leg between the stifle and hip.
Nearly foot of the large bone WIS
splintered and broken into handful of
small pieces, completely disabling her so
that she had to be shot. Even DR.. Rob
erts, who was called, was unable to ex-
plain how the accident could have hap
pened
judging by what is heard here and
there, the coming mask ball will be one

Academy hall the place. Baumgartner's
Harp orchestra, which now has repu-
tation for the best dance music obtain
able, has been engaged. Dance tickets,
75c; spectators, 25c; ladies in mask, 25c.

new plan for the mid week meetings will
be inaugurated. Subject, What Our
Prayer Meetings Should Be- Addresses
by Mrs Hopkins, Mr.. Wright and Mr..
Parr, followed by general discussion.
To an exchange we are indebted for
the following bit of poetical truth:
"When man gets old and his feet get
cold and the end of his nose turns blue,
and he smells of rose and he thinks of
his toes and the world to him seems
blue. He waddles around with look
profound and hopes for turn in affairs,
and it comes with rush and gives him
a push and leaves his estate to the heirs.
They squabble and fight with vigor and
might, each one wanting it all, and fin
ally the lawyers, kind souls, take charge
of the roll and there is nothing left for
the heirs but the holes"

will be remembered by many that Mr..
Everz gave his lecture Queen Louise

grade to the great delight Of all who

clear and forceful speaker. There is not
| dull moment from the beginning to
the close. The characters under his
treatment come out from the past and
live in the present. Those who delight
in history, who admire greatness in man,
who are interested in the past or present
Of the. kingdom Of Norway and Sweden
