AS there are so many stories in cir
culation to the effect that Bert Cox
! does not own the store he is running at
Indian Ford, be it hereby known he not
only owns the store but all contents as
well.
While death in all it's phases is but a
sad, sad thought, still, most truly can
we say Mrs. Ella Fielder is at rest.
She has suffered for years and the fact
of her release from pain should be
thought of comfort to the relatives and
many friends. She leaves husband
and two children to cherish loving
memory of dear wife and mother.
Last Friday evening, Dec. Is, fond
pappas and mammaS and kind friends
gathered at the school house to listen
to the Christmas exercises so carefully
prepared by the teacher and pupils. To
strike happy medium and fill the
awkward pase which always arises be-
tween the first and last arrivals, music
was furnished by the photograph loan
ed by Mrs. George Whaley. The first
number on the program was song by
the school, accompanied by Mr.. Mar
quart on his guitar. Marcella Baltes
telephoned to Santa Claus and gave
him a few pointers about bringing
papa lot of cigars he couldn't smoke
and grandma any more bed slippers and
please to remember just because he is
an old man grandpa doesn't use snuff.
Lula Lietz spoke 'Who Is IT." and
Allen Cox told them he is going to be
a Christmas Tree Farmer" This
was the first public appearance of Mas
tiers Cox and Edwardson. Marion Cox
told Santa to try and have mittens and
shoes enough for the cold boys and
girls this year. "Jes' Afore Crismas"

hair and keeping clean and being good
in general. George Teubert pays an
other tribute to Santa Claus and Es

manner. Marcella Baltes plays the
part of the Christmas Spirit of Love
and works on the hearts of Mr.. and
