Our annual thanks are due Mrs.
Henry Sibble, of German Hill, for the
big link OF nice rich sausage left on the
editorial table last week, reminding us
that fall butchering time, the most glori-
GUS to many Of us, has again slipped
around. And again brings to mind
verse OF the school boys compositions:
would not die in springtime;
would not die in fall,
When sasssge meat is fryin'
And hick'ry nuts is thick
Oh. who would think Of dyin',
Or even gttin' sick?
In every city and town In the Uuited
States, Red Cross Seals are now on sale.
Business men make practice Of placing
these seals on all their correspondence
often putting them on each check fIr each
man in December. Christmas shoppers
have learned to use these little enblems
of health on all their gifts; in fact
they have become so wei known and so
popular that 1t seems only natural for
everybody to buy q few. II has become
part OF the holiday spirit to help the sick
consumptiye In this way. Stamps will
be found in most of the stores in every
town.
The tail end of the big western bliz.
zard switched around into this latitude
last Sunday evening and gave us the first
real touch OF winter that we have had,
covering the ground with a mantle of
snow to the depth of 3 to inches, and
sending the mercury down nearer the
bulb than II has been any time this
winter, Thermometers registering II de-
grees above the zero mark at six O'Clock
yesterday morning. The back channel of
the creek froze over for the first time
Monday night. But we've had fine fall
anyhow, and II now we have to let the gas
throttle out a notch or two, thank fortune
we have the gas to burn. So cheer up.

1t is reported that the charges Of in
voluntary manslaughter against the Of
ficers OF the Bayless Paper Co., because OF
the "a lives lost when their dam at Austin,
Potter county was torn out by the flood
Sept. 80. 1911, will all be dropped for the
reason that the company has arranged to
settle all the cases civil and criminal, for
damage and loss by the payment OF
money and the Issuing OF stock In the

reason or another for more than two
years.
