Purcy Jordon Is a guest of relatives In
our village for few days.
John W. Littlefield is working at Tor.
pedo, having secured carpenter job at
that place.
1t has been reported that John Slower
is on his way home from the west to take
Christmas with his family at Warren,
and we understand that the rest of the
family will meet at the home aud a good
time will be had. Mr.. Stover has been
away for two years and the boys are
working at different places and this will
also be reunion Of this family.
The Sheffield and Tiouesta Railway
have been having a lot of trouble with
the new piece of road lately put In SER
vice, but every day is becoming better
and the trouble lessened. The weather
has been very bad for them and there is a
lot OF mud In that vicinity. We want no
one to believe that this change was made
expecting to chenge back In the summer.
On Friday last the schools here closed
for tie institute and Christmas vacation
and the pupils remembered their teach
ers, Mr.. Warren Cook and Miss Anna
Allaire, with presents. The teachers in
turn had something for each pupil. We
are sorry to note that Mr.. Cook will not
return to the school after the two weeks
vacation. The school has been very sstis-
factory this winter and we were In hopes
il would continue to the close, but It
seems that we will have to make change
on account of the resignation of Mr.. Cook.
The attendance here has been fair during
the first half of the term but the directors
will have better attendance all around
in this township after Jan. 2, or the pa
irons will hear something. This is a
mild reminder. The school law is to be
most rigidly enforced and those having
children in their care will please do their
part to help the directors accomplish this
end.
Mr.. Henton an aged man living with
his son, John Henton, fell over pail
Friday evening and hurt his side. There
is some fear of this being bad case on
account of the extreme age of Mr.. Hem
ton.
Mrs. Elmira Whitehill and daughter
Emma visited relatives in May yburg over

Geo. S. Downing of Tions was a visitor
in town over Friday night, looking after

Mrs. E. II. Downey was out to see Santa
Claus and dsrect his way in here to keep
bis team out of the mud. The children
will please be good until next Saturday
anyway, and see what Santa shall bring.
Marion and vernits Rupert went to
Sheffield Saturday to make thier grandma
visit and see the Christmas display in
that town.
The Sunday school ut Minister held a
song service Sunday last, which was en-
joyed by those present, and the people
taking part said it seemed to sound nice
to them. We thought it was good our
self.
There was very interesting dancing
party given at the Littlefeld home on
Pious Ave, Saturday evening, in honor
of Purcy Jordon of Bucher's Mill. There
was a number of gentlemen from Hast.
ings and May in attendance, and a
good time was had by those present.
The "Oh! be joyful" liquid put into the
human system seems to have tendency
to always make crooked tracks in the
mud. One can look at the tracks leading
from where q dance was held and count
the jsgs. This information was given us
by good Samaritan who has put to bed
many helpless brother. Yea, verify.
Miss Jennie Meager and Miss Anna
Leichtenberger of Truemsns were callers
in town, Sunday. Miss Anna is visitor
with relatives at Truemans.
