AfS"aoeA N.Y. hfAA - 49,
The winter of 1871. with its many
changes and happening, Is now a
matter Of the past There has
been much distress and sickness
among our people, and many deaths,
but things could have been worse.
SO let us be thankful that matters
are no worse than they are ! will
say that my heart goes out in SYM
PATTY TO all distress and suffering,
but we that have been permitted
to live must make mp our minds TO
do our best whether we, be officials
Of the county, attorneys at bar, bus
mess men, ministers of the Cos
pei. tillers OF the soil. or whatev-
er our vocation in life may be We
owe Il to society to be sober In
dustrious honest law abiding men. 50
let every man get this idea that the
victory depends on the effort that
make as an individual. We are
at the beginning OF an other busy
season, and hope that all OF our
people will strive hard 10 benefit
by il, morally. physically and social
