Can the Oldest Inhabitant remember
a December week like the past one?
Mild and warm day and night, and at
midday more like September than win
ter, and better adapted to loafing around
but doors than TO working inside.
There is time yet for two months OF
such weather as we remember so dis
tinctly to have had the past two winters,
but at any rate we have had one mild
month that we can't be cheated out of.
A very pleasant and instructive occa-
sion was the Africa party at the Meth
odist parsonage last Wednesday night.
The set of pictures gotten up for the
study of 1906 were exhibited and ex'
planned, an account of the rubber atroci'
ties on the Congo was read and dis
cussed, and the life of Mackay, whom
placed next to Livingstone
among African explorers, was briefly
reviewed. Then followed music, games,
candies and popcorn,-the latter served
hot from the furnace by the young men.
There was large attendance.
