RURAL 0ELWERYs BEST WISHES

How interesting and attractive is the little child of four years. Just the same with the Social Corner on its fourth birthday, March 14th. It has been of much interest to the old and young from ocean to ocean during the past four years. It has made friend ships far and near which will never fade away.
 The family of the department is so widely spread that the good done by the Social Corner will never be fully known. The invalid, the cripple, the down hearted housewife have all found comfort and content reading the let ters when life seemed almost a failure
 For the year to come let the writers see how many sad families they can cheer up and how many mothers they can make happy with their cheery let terS to The Corner.
 Many times kind words to our sick friends are better than medicine.
 From its first birthday it has been of much pleasure as well as profit to me.
 Wishing the Social Corner much progress in its fifth year, and thanking the Editor and writers for their many favors in the past, I will not take up any more space at this time.
 Best wishes 10 all.
