Hunt Club passing to and from Pennington,
Hartford county, where the members spent a
week hunting the live fox. attracted much at

we regret was that we did not see the pack in
full cry after the willy fox, but perhaps this
may be our pleasure later.
The Aid Society of st. Johns Lutheran

On account of the wintry appearance of the

as a farmer who takes great pride in doing with
all his might whatsoever his hand findeth to do
Cider making in this community has about
been finished and nearly every cellar has stored
in it applejuice for whistle-whetting during
the winter.
As we have been blessed with bountiful
harvest this year, and the time appointed for
giving thanks to the Giver of these blessings is
at hand, it is the plain duty of all to acknowl-
edge our due appreciation of His care for us,
and not to spend the day in revelry and riotous
living. B.
