-Children's Day was appropriately
observed last Sunday by the Presbyterian
and Methodist Sunday schools, the ex-
ercises being of very pleasing character.
The Presbyterian service in, the morn
ing took the form OF children's choir
with special music, and sermon to the
children by the pastor. At the Metho-
dist church in the evening a more elab-
orste program of songs and recitations
was given, which showed great care In
preparation. The decorations at both
houses of worship were very pretty, and
altogether the day was one of joy and
gladness to the little folks.

Fishermen are afraid that the Shiny
moss, which for some unaccountable rea-
son covers the beds ofthe river and creek,
is going to interfere with the fishing to a
considerable extent this year, says a
knowing (?) exchange. AS though this
same condition does not always prevail
at this season of the year and on up to the
end of the season. Whenever the water
in the rivers and creeks gets low and
sluggish mole or less moss and slime ac-
cumulates, but il you're up to your busi-
ness you can catch the fish all right We
leave 1t to John Bush, who can always
dig up few nice ones when occasion re-
quires.
Rev. and Mrs. H. A, Bailey leave to-
day for their former home at Callensburg,

course of people from far and near. FRI

lensburg. Mr.. Baiey's pulpit here will
be vacant next Sabbath, as he will re-

"A short road to misery is to begin by
fancying that no one cares for you; that
you are of no use to anybody,-a sort OF
nonentity in the household, where your
place would not be missed, but easily
supplied. Reflect on your want of beauty,
and lead yourself to believe that no one
can love plain face, or think you agree
able because there are others more charm
ing. Fancy that everyone who looks up
on you makes mental comparison which
initiates against you in favor ofsome one
else. Imagine that every word said in
jest is only meant to cover deeper and
more painful meaning-that every other
article of wearing apparel you don is
criticised and ridiculed. Do all this and
your tendency to morbidity offeeling will
so increase that in a very short time you
will become one of the most miserable ol
human beings.
An electric storm, accompanied by
considerable wind and rain, passed over
this section Monday night, which for
grandeur of display oflightning eclisped
anything of the kind that has been seen
here in many day. 1t began at about
half past nine and from that time until
after midnight the heavens presented al
most continuous glare OF lightning,
very vivid at times, with much heavy
thunder. No damage was done in this
vicinity but the nerves of the timid were
tried to the limit. Constable Eden, OF
the township, whose domicile is situated
over on "Pretty View," overlooking the
town, had his peace of mind somewhat
disturbed when stroke of lightning shat
tered tree 40 feet from his house, set
his gas regulator, just outside the house,
on fire, and lit about six leaks in the gas
line running past his property. But no
harm was done and the fires we're easily
extinguished.
According to many exchanges, the
editors of which know perhaps as little
about it as the man in the moon, deer are
going to be plentiful the coming season.
1t is stated that "droyes of as many as
seven in a bunch have been seen, and
three or four travelling together is no un-
common occurrence. The increase in
number is said to be due to the shortness
of the game season and the protection
afforded female deer the past season.
Bear too, are said to be numerous more
so than ever, and unless there are heavy
forest fires the coming summer there is
every indications of big game being
