DECEMBER 4.-Now that Thanksgiving is a
thing of the past and all have had grand,
good time, save the turkey, our citizens are
making ready for the Christmas Holidays,
which are rapidly approaching.
1t looks now as if December loves snow
in preference to the rain, and Judging the
future by the past, some are looking after
their sleighs and sleds to see that they are IN
order. Only few have finished husking out
corn and hauling in their fodder. Some,
however, have taken time by the forelock and
plowed their truck patches tor anoth er year
crop.
The snow storms have driven the cattle of
many fields to the sheltering folds. and winter
feeding may commence in earnest from now
on.
Game has become scarce and Wild save the
old field larks which are not sought by the
hunter. If winter continues rough, the black
ravens, or crows, will find an abundance ot
corn in shocks to keep them active and happy.
C. H. Shipley had very severe attack OF
acute indigestion last week, which lasted
several hours. But for the speedy arrival
and help of Dr. Edward Cronk, Of Winfield,
life seemed to hang in the balance. He is
better now, but quite feeble and infirm. He
is nearing his 10Th year and is the last sur
vivng son of the late Grove Shipley, Sr. OF
Freedom District. who departed this lite
about 90 years ago. Mr.. Shipley has been
living a retired life for many years in Free
dom District, near Glst. =
Some have been butchering their porkers tol

The health of our community is fairly good

Music Recital.

A recital which was in truth a musical treat
was given at Grace Lutheran Church Monday
evening. The large audience which was at
tracted, in spite of the coldness of the night,
by the we'll known ability of the musicians
found their expectations of entertainment OF
high order more than realized by the excel
lence of the performers. Miss Slagle proved
herself the mistress of the organ as well as of
the piano. Her rendition of Gounod's Faust
charmed her hearers by its excellence. Miss
Katharine Slage sustained her reputation as a
songstress of much ability by the difficult
sacred selections which she gave with much
expression. Mr.. Ackley, of the Seminary,
holds an envable reputation as 'cellist, and
his solos gave much pleasure to his audience.
Professor Benson is so widely known as a
musician that his ability needs no comment.
He was particularly pleasing in his interpre.
tation of Lohengrin. Owing to the illness of
one of its members the Seminary quartette
was unable to take part. The program fol-
