Happy New Year to all Yes. this
Is the very last day of 1907 and tomor-
row will be the beginning of another
year, Let us all resolve to live better
lives the coming year than ever before.
Let us try every day to make at least
one heart glad, and we will feel better
by 50 doing. Let us try TO do all the
good we can, and if we have nothing
10 give but a smile or a kind word,
then give that You know it is easy
enough to be pleasant when life goes
along like song, but the one worth
while is the one with smile when
everything goes wrong.
Many hearts have been made to feel
sad around the little village of Yolan-
de where the mine explosion took place
about three weeks ago 1t is estima-
ted that about sixty-five lost their
lives in that awful accident Oh, how
little some wives and sisters seem to
think OF the awful dangers to which
our loved ones are daily exposed. Sure
~, ah, surely if some of them would
Just stop and think for few moments
they would be more careful how they
spend the hard earned dollars, and in
stead of trying to see who could dress
the finest and go to the store the often
est for every little thing such as
some more candy and chewing gum
and something else to cook" they
would surely be studying how to pre-
pare the best supper with the least ex-
penditure Of money.
Dear SiStprs lots uauSa for a viii 10
and think. 1t might be some of our
own precious ones next Then let's try
to help them get into such circumstan-
ces that they can live without going
under the ground to work.
Now, love to see people dress neat
and nice, but it is not always the one
who spends the most who looks the
best. Very simple goods made and
worn i'll the right manner often look
neater and nicer than something four
times as costly, so let's take care and
try to look our very rrettiest at the
least expense possible
Sumpter is shut down now. Don't
know how long it will stay stopped,
Weller is stopped, also, with orders to
cut expenses as low as possible. Con
ellsville is running day and night.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the Christ

Wonder where J. S. and Carl Jones
are now.
