Sun Acts as Timepiece.

tt ere is no need for clocks on the
Aegean sea any day when the sun is
shining. There nature has arranged
her only timepiece, one that does not
vary though the centuries pass. This
natural time marker is the largest sun
dial in the world. Projecting into the
blue waters of the sea is a large prom
ontory which lifts its head 5000 feet
above the waves. AS the sun swings
round, the pointed shadow of the
mountain just touches one after the
other a number Of small islands, which
are at exact distances apart and act
as hour marks on the great dial.

The Christmas Saio
he Congregational chlrS

The Christmas Saio
the Congregational chufe
which the ladies OF that ofs
have labored long and faithfully,.e
held in the hall last Thursday, and was
most gratifying success in every re-
spect The~entire second floor was oc-
cupied by gaily decorated booths where
the various wares were temptingly dis
played The Country store" filled one
end of the room, and here very COM
pIete line of articles, for utility or orna-
ment, were offered for sale. Mrs.
Townsend and her corps OF alert assis-
tants presided at this booth. Miss Grace
Townsend, assisted by Miss Ola Fraser
had very popular booth devoted to the
sale of Christmas booklets, cards, tags
and all the dainty wrappings for making
the Christmas parcel attractive. The
chinese tea room, in charge of Mrs.
Monroe, did thriving business. Next
10 this stood the attractive table where
a gorgeously decorated Christmas oak e
tempted the paSserS by TO hazard guess
as to its weight, with the hope of be-
coming the lucky winner OF so much
spicy sweetness. The candy corner, as
its name implies, offered fine assort-
ment of confectionery, all of home
manufacture and exceedingly choice.
Here the customers were promptly
served by Misses Ethel Gillett, Marga-
ret Daniels and Elinor Games. The
five cent clipping corner provoked
much mirth and merriment, as the mys-
terious packages were unwrapped, re-
vealing their contents. MesdameS
Barnes and Andrews were the managers
of this popular feature of The day. After
the sales were over, music and games
and a general good time" were in
dulged in until "Scatteration hour"
struck.
Rev. BENJAMIN Stock is now here, en-
toying we'll earned vacation from his
strenuous pastoral work in West Florida.
He will preach the morning sermon at
the Congregational church next Sunday.
Owing to stormy weather no services
were held last Sunday evening, and

Ben's" address were greatly disap'
pointed.
II is a pleasure 10 record that Walter
| Vivian is much improved, is able TO sill
up few hours each day, and his recov-
cry now seems assured.
Mrs. Jenkins who was seriously indis-
posed for some days is also improving.
The Andrews bungalow in the west
end is going up rapidly, and will proba-
bly, be in good trim for a New Years
house warming.
The street improvement committee is
again busy, adding more clay to the
hard walks wherever worn and out OF
repair.
Telephone communication between
Tnterlachen and Kenwood, one OF the
little settlements of the New South
Farm and Home Co., is now assured,
and will greatly facilitate transaction oil
business from this end of the line.
