went away feeling sure that Jona-
than Tyler Council was still doing
good work.
Next Saturday, Jan. II, "our
grand old man" Russell Gould
will celebrate his S3rd birthday
anniversary. We trust his friends
far and near will remember him
with post card views, as he is shut
in this winter with a painful
foot.
Harry Deal and wife, who spent
the holidays with his people here,
returned to Syracuse early last
week.
Again the death angel visited |
our neighborhood and removed |
from our light a fond wife and |
good mother, Mrs. Emma Day |
Mudgett, who has been a great |
sufferer for many years, the last |
illness, however, being of short |
duration. Mr.. Mudgett will feel |
this separation keenly, as he has
always given her such kind and |
care. We feel much SYM
pathy for them all.
Mr.. and Mrs Harlow Childs /
spent the day last Saturday in /
Orfordville, being the guests of
Harry Morrison and wife.
How many of us can look back
thirty years and see our friend
and townsman, Amos Ban, a Wig
orous, energetic New Highlander,
always ready to give the honest
grip of a friendly greeting? Mr..
Ball has adopted Manchester as
his home, but he is with us for a
short visit, and although he is so
years old, one would never sus-
pect it, and he has all the gen.
tlemanly qualities of years ago.
Long life to We, and come again
and again.
John Simpson has been very i'll
during the past week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Stetson are
to the house with grippe
colds.
