It won't be long now till the hunting seasin in this lokality will begin, and it might be we'll for us at this sittin to caushion our lokal hunters against miscellaneous use of fire arms, which carelessness is Liable to result in injury to life and limb or both, not only the hunters theirselves, but also of them who Happens to be around tending stric- ktly to their own business. Game is reported very plenty this year, squirl and patriges abounds in abun- dance as you might say, while a occashional bear or deer has been saw not a great ways from Bingville lately by them as have kept their eyes open.
 Down to Hen Weathersby's store tother night, Wes Woodruff, our champion hunter and trapper, said that he calkilated that anybody who would go into the woods and shoot at the first moving thing they saw, was menace to the general health of the community. Yves says that a hunter always ort to be shure what he was shooting at before he shot. Yves has probably forgot about this time two years ago, when he went out huntin with his ole blunderbuss loaded clean up to the muzzle with buck shot, and when he seen what he thort was a buck deer through the bushes, he tuk aim and pulled the trigger, when to his consterna- ton and disgust, he discovered that he had shot Slime Winslow's Al berney bull in the rump, which made the bull SO irritable that it chased Yves clean acrosst two fields and treed him up hemlock, where he had to remain all night, and also had to pay $5 to Slime, who con. sidered that his Attorney bull had been damaged to that extent. Yves probably fergits that only year ago he shot his own hound dog for a rabbit, killing the dog as dead as a smoked herring. It seems to us that a person who can't tell deer from a bull, or rabbit from a dog, ort not to be so free with their advice to others on how to handle fire arms. Only last November while Hank Dewberry was out hunting with his ole muzzle loader rifle, which shoots a ball as big as a marble, he seen something that looked like a deer to him, So he blazed away and come within two inches of shooting Cy Hoskins' head clean offen his shoulders. Cy was in the woods al he time looking at some timber wich ) he calkilated to buy, and if Hank

BROWNS WHILE SKATING
Alpine Boy Breaks Through the Ice
Body Is Recovered.

American Fork. Dec. 31.-A very dis
tressing accident occurred at Alpine yes
terday, whereby the little 11-year-Old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Vance of that
city lost his life by drowning. The boy,
with a number of his companions of
about the same age, were enjoying
skate on Whitby's pond (Which is only
q small pond and not very deep, when
the ice broke and let the boy under
and before assistance arrived the little
fellow was dead. AS soon as the lad
went under the ice some of the other
boys ran for assistance. and the ice was
broken all around where he fell in, but
the men could not locate the body Dy
wading in the water, so an opening was
cut in the bank and the water drawn
of and the body was found consid-
cradle distance from where the boy had
broken in. 1t looked as though the lit
tie fellow had been struggling around
under the ice endeavoring TO break
through and get out. As IL was about
an hour from the time he fell until
the body was found, life was extinct.
although every effort was used to bring
the life back into the little body. The
accident has cast a gloom over Alpine
and American Fork. Funeral services
will be held Thursday from the Alpine

great distress. 1t is no superstition TO
say that God chastises nations as well
as individuals, and the panic may be
considered a warning from the Al
mighty in order to call people back
from placing entire faith in material
happiness and earthly pursuits.
The American people have good rea-
son to look forward to 1908 with cheer
full minds. Continual exposure of cor
ruption is making our politics purer,
the Christian religion is beginning to
acquire that dominion in daily life so
necessary to happiness and the nobler
existence.
Cathoiicity, too, is finding favor from
many who formerly opposed it. In the
steady progress and enlightenment of
the human race We observe Sod
promise verified: Il viii be with you
all the days even to the eonsummation
of the world
In spite of all evil forces, good will
ultimately conquer. The clouds may
obscure the sun temporarily, but they
cannot prevent that king of heavenly
orbs from ascending his throne at the
birth of every dawn, causing the green
things of the earth to flourish and
making glad the hearts of the children
of men.

WATCH OLD YEAR OUT; NEW YEAR IN
Scenes of Gayety at Cafes and on Streets.

Then there were the horns-it seemed. as
though there were a million of them-and
they all contributed their share toward the
noise. The scene at the corner of Second
South and Main at midnight was particu-
larly active with noise making devices
Persons having due regard for their ear
drums gave the spot wide berth. The
same was true of Main and First Soutb
and State street had a number of bright
illuminauons and accompanying noise In
front of the Lyric theatre a huge bonfire
Was burned
The street car company did business
unprecedented with its owl cars. Many
hundreds of people made use of them.
At the Cafes.
The brightest spots were the cafes. Al

given:

The year 1908 was given a welcome in
which there was assuredly plenty of noise
to suit everybody, and plenty of good
cheer around the banquet board. The
scenes I'm the cafes were of the liVeliest
sort. There was animation in it all. Hun
dreds of women's tongues buzzed in hun
dreds of mems ears and hundreds of
mems voices mingled with theirs. There
was gayety in the costumes, although for
mality in the matter of dress was pretty
much dispensed with. --.
The music at the cafes was of n rare
order of excellence. The menus were elab-
crate At the Cullen. the Wilson and the
Louvre the dining rooms were crowded
with merrymakeTs. At many of the other
cafes parties sat at table to watch the old
year out and the new one in.
The weather was just right for the oc-
casion. and manifestly everybody in town
who could possibly do So were out. The
Youngsters and the youths did not wait
for the clock to strike the hour of II. but
they turned the place into bedlam as early
as quarter of the midnight nour.
When Twelve O'clock Came.
When the whistles finally marked the
hour of midnight the din was terrific
There was a fusilade of shots. as though
a battle were in progress. Great giant
ffrecrackers were exploded by the hun
dreds punctuating the musketry of the
cracking pistols at intervals with startling
intensity.

Vale to the old, Ave to the New Year.
As the ringing bells of u o'clock

through the world, another year had
passed into memory and into the bosom
Of God that made it. But, as if to
compensate humanity for the lapse of
time and to mellow the reverses of
shattered hopes and dreams, virgin
year is sent from heaven that mankind
may make a new start, take a fresh
lease Of life and rise more bravely from
former failures.
Since 1907 first began many friends
and bosom relatives of the hearthstOne

their dirge forever played by wintry

better men and women. To them is
due the benediction of prayer that they
may rest in peace.
Nineteen hundred and seven has been

to a materialistic conception of life.

A. YEAR OF OPPORTUNITY

Friend! The wish comes from the
hearts depth, "A Happy New Year to
you The old, with all its dear de-
lights, it's Swallowed hours, its sue
eesses and failures, is gone. 1t was a
good year. and it leaves US possessed
still of all that was worth the having
that we chose to take.
The new arrives with such Infinite
meanings and possibilities. The Child
hood glamor of it may be gone, but still,
in unsullied beauty il comes spinning
from the wheel of the Eternal, a per-
feet thread, which it is yours to cave
into a thing of living beauty or to tan
gle into a web with no meaning hut
selfishness, no message but despair.
For You are the master of this new
year. 1t comes demanding that it shall
be made the best year, as self realizes
its highest in that fulfillment which
comes in true devotion and wide serv-
ice to mankind. In it's newness of OPP
portunity there is a blessed chance to
be the better thing we have mayhap
lost, and in it's white spaces there is
the golden field on which we shall win
where yesterday we lost the fight for
the loftier end.

MEANING OF HAPPINESS

in? For one thing, the attitude of cour-
age it implies is salutary. Even COM
mercially, since we suffer from dimin-
ished confidence, following in the wake
of Widespread inprovidence, every
good citizen should cultivate a whole
some confidence, the kind of courage
which knows discipline. but knows not
defeat. Such confidence is based on a
sane view of the real wealth of the
country, not reckoned in terms of mil
lionaiTes' fortunes, but in terms OF ma
turaI resources, and in terms of nation
al character and inherited skill. We
may need to learn, as q nation, to
make haste slowly" not 10 exploit our
resources greedily, but, for all that,
there need be no spiking of the wheels
Of material progress.
Happiness is more than the enjoy
ment of things It means realizing our
relations with one another. It may
mean struggle against difficulties, but
never a selfish struggle. The begin
ming of the year of our Lord 1908 is

to emphasize fellowship, not isolation;
for different elements in the community
to recognize their inter-dependence; for
the strengthening of bonds between

THE MISSION OF SERVICE

The old year, as we measure time,
with its defeats and victories, its sOr-
rows and joys. its mistakes and right
doings, is past and gone forever. Per-
haps its seeming defeats, sorrows and
mistakes have been occasions for vic

only see behind the scenes where God
standeth, keeping watch over his own.
But to most people IT was a good year
"a year of unparalleled victories, an
anticipated joys and a multitude of be-
nificent deeds. Indeed. it brought to us
all more sunshine than shadow and
more occasions for hallelujahs than for
requiems. With thanksgiving for the
past and anticipative confidence in the
future, We turn our faces toward tie
new year-1S0S-and extend to it our
hand of cordial greeting and sincere
welcome. 1t has blessings untold for
us all Our cups of Joy viii overflow.
Our voices will ring, merrily with
laughter Our lives will abound with
good deeds, brotherly love. Christian
liberation and fOTebearance. Our homes
will become more nearly ideal. Our city
will take on a higher degree of moral
sentiment and express its sentiment in
sane municipal law enactment and
enforcement. Our state will rightfully
assume her place among the sisterhoOd
of states, and our nation will enjoy an
undreamed of year of real prosperity.
o Happy New Year, We welcome you
