WIDOW MCGEE

There's a tender light in your eye,
Widow MCGEE when you look at me,
So your love you cannot deny.
1t can see very plainly;
Your eyes and your bushes speak
true,
They belle your tongue. SO undo
The little white fib you told me,
Widow McGee.
Don't turn your head aside
Widow McGee, for l want to see
The dimples that you wish to hide.
You're laughing at me, not long it
will be
For l defy you to look straight in
my face
And say mo Barney you have no
place
In the heart of the widow of
Terence McGee."
Ha Ha You are guilty. l know
Widow MCGEE that you love me.
But the sin will pardon, for you
Will now agree to no longer be free,
So namo the day without delay
That you will consent to be Mrs
O'Shea
Instead of the poor lonely
Widow McGee.

New Year Resolutions

1t won't be long before the New
Year will be here and many of us
will lake determinations to do and
not to do certain things, but how
many of these resolutions will be
kept after the New Year has once
started in. It's 50 easy DOW to lay
the foundation. But to build upon il
and keep building until the structure
is a success is what we should do, if
we want to keep the wolf from the
door" Competition is getting keen
er and keener, and the other fellow
will get the job If we don't watch
ont.
There was good article in the
Press of December 9th-"How to
Succeed, J." which if adhered TO should
put people on the right track. "Find
the work you like best and then do It
with all your might !" because it's
mighty difficult TO succeed in a task
that is distasteful to us.
The Devil" will be with many OF
Us the Night Before Christmas and
the night before the New Year; but
dear reader, don't let him be in your
company cast him aside as an outfit
companion, if not before 1911, let
that year see that you have dropped
him once for all.

Surround all vegetation when white
lace
OF deep ''la neige" doth on it and nc

To keep away the frosty blasts and

Yea, it doth fall, and It's fair quaint
TO see
The silvery, sparkling flakes fall

Much like strange fairy aeroplane.

The Western Branch Of the teach
ers Of this County held their Insti-
tute al Layton ON Saturday last. Is
is too bad that only 50s5 of the teach

Iieved teachers could and did learn
more than they did at the County
Institutes"
1t is q crying shame that one Of
our most respected aged citizens
would starve were it not for kind

who spends every cent for rum.
Cannot our officials make the young
man help his poor old father?
Years ago 1 can remember when
the business of getting out white
oak and hickory straps was carried
on extensively in this town. Today
believe there are only members
Of one family, the Utters, carrying
on the business. The old wooden
strap is being replaced by strap-Iron

1t is surprising to note what quan.
titles of butterine is being sold in
this valley. The high price asked
by those having butter to sell, often
times from to cents above city
prices, has forced many to use what
one of-the N. Y. dailies styles the
'poor mans butter"

In Memory Of c. W. Bull
A Testimonial to Cornelius W. Bun, late
Member OF the Board of the
Independent School
District Of
Milford.

MILFORD
We, his fellow directors, who have
been associated with him in the re.
sponsible position he held, desire to
bear testimony to his zeal and fidel-
ity in the cause of education and his
interest in the welfare of youth.
He served for several years and
was thoroughly conversant with the
duties of the Office. His uniform
courtesy, his invaluable counsel, his
excellent Judgment were almost in
dispensable aid in the performance Of
our duties and the loss to us his col
leagues win be keenlY felt.
The community also will suffer a
great deprivation in the removal OF
one who manifested such zeal in
furthering the cause of education.
We therefore desire to place on REQ
ord this memorial Of the high esteem
with which we regarded our fellow
director and 80 far as we may perpel
uate his memory by spreading it OF
the minutes Of the board,
