EVANSVILLE.

Since the holidays are over there has
been very little social activity in our
town, and every body has settled into
the daily routine of work after fort
night of rest. Grantsville is one of the
most neighborly little towns in the coun-
| ty. Every body is always willing to lend
hand in distress and to share another S
| pleasure or sorrow. Even the cats and
dogs and chickens are neighborly and
visit around among each other with the
utmost friendliness, and never take
offense If their overtures at neighborli-
ness are not appreciated, which is the
proper spirit to maintain in making
ones way in the world.
A curfew bell has been erected on

comes warmer and evenings longer the

The parcels post system which went
into effect January LIST, has had but
