Once all of us were boys and girls,
But how we do forget
just what it was that made us glad
Or caused our minds to fret!
So little can we now recall
Each childish care and Joy
That no one who is grown, it
seems,
Can understand a boy.

And yet in spite of warnings
Their troth they want to plight.

Though he can't pay the rent.

To Turkey town

To spend Thanksgiving day.

And had to wait,
Like common freight
At old Dyspepsiaville.

BUSINESS CHANGE
Undertaking Business Of L. D. Var.
nsy Sold to John Nelson. Will Be
Conducted By w. F. Hopley Of
Centerville, California.

The undertaking business owned
and conducted for some time past,
by Mr.. L. D. Varney of Extra Iowa,
has been sold to Mr.. John Nelson,
one of our local hardware mer-
chants.
Mr.. varney having been offered a
very lucrative position by his fa.
ther, as manager of his landed i'm
terests in South Dakota, could not
accept it without transferring his
Undertaking business into safe and
reliable hands, in order that it
might have the same prompt atten-
ton, and sympathetic care, that it
had been accustomed to for many,
years.
Mr.. Nelson needs no introduction
from us, Bs part of the time he has
been in business in Extra he was a
part of the firm of The Johnson
Mercantile Company, which did a
large hardware business, nd later
purchasing the hardware business
OF John Hunter where he enjoys a
good patronage. In Mr.. w. F. Hop
ley, the new manager of the Nelson
Undertaking business we find
man of fine address and we'll fitted
for the business, being licensed
embalmer and funeral director and
having worked for Mr.. l.. F. Shank
of Dee Moines, one of the largest
Undertaking establishments in
Iowa, coming here from Centerville
California, where for some time he
has been in charge of large un-
dertaking business covering four
counties and of which counties he
was Coroner.
In disposing of my Undertaking
business here am mindful of the
fact, that for the satisfactory pa
tronage given me in the past, I am
indeed grateful and would thank
you one and all for continuance of
your favors for my successor when
unfortunate conditions demand
them of you.

We've all got something this year
to be thankful for,' says Dad;
We've reasons to be grateful and
we've reasons to be glad.
I'm thankful that I'm living and
I'm thankful that I'm we'll;
The causes for my gratitude are
more than'I can tell
I'm thankful GOALS no higher and
we've ceased to purchase ice;
I'm thankful Rockefeller still is
here to give advice.
I'm thankful that my overcoat will
do another year;
I'm glad the trusts no corner have
upon the atmosphere
But of all the thankful people,
the most thankful that know
Is the girl who is SO thankful that
at last she has beau.
