their new home on Thursday evening,
January 11th. A large collection of
fruit, vegetables, eggs, butter, meat

had expected his Bible Glass to be
present on that evening, so when the
friends began to gather, he thought
surely his class had greatly enlarged,
but when he saw the provisions upon
the table he quickly saw the object in
view Mrs. Berry, whose birthday
took place on that evening, was also
the recipient of several little tokens
of remembrance. Pastor and wife de-
sire to express their sincere gratitude
and appreciation to the members and
friends of his church for their kind

truly quoted in the scripture, 'sThe
Lord lOyeth cheerful giver.
On Friday morning our milkman
Randolph Hurff had quite an accident
His horse slipped on the ice causing
it to fall, and broke the shafts in

are trusting this new year that Hurffs
luck will take turn, as he seemed
to be rather unfortunate the past year
It's a long lane that has no turning

friend, as it helped him to pass away
many lonely hours. He lived 20 be

since that time was in the doctors
care until God released him from lis
sufferings.
