A $40, 900 FIRE is the chief recollection VIZ
have associated with Milton's history
There have been many minor events
but they pale into insignifcence wher
compared with this memorable one. Dur
ing the past year Milton has paid its
quota in death toll ; particularly have
many of the aged gone to that bourne
from whence no traveller has ever re-
turned. Personally, we are thankful
the past year has left us as well off as il
has. The old year was mustered out,
and the New Year mustered fn, with all
the eclat the convivialists could give it.
Long before II O'Clock on Sunday night

'bustling time. - The present agitation
and unrest in the last may be the pre-

Those of our visitors who have been
home for the holidays, are gone back to
their various employment Many of them
left last week; the remainder on New
Years Day.
There was but little, if any, moving on
Monday. Those who had to change their
residences, were fortunate enough to be
able to move before they were forced to |
do so, and took advantage of the good |
weather we have been having, and moved 1
last week.
We take this method of thanking those
of our friends who have sent us Christ |

irs" during the past holidays When we
are in a reminiscent mood, it is a pleasure
to know we are remembered bv friends
however remote, and their friendships
are cherished as the bright and evergreen
oasis of other days. Thank you, friends,
for your kind rememberance.
