Thirty-Fifth Anniversary

The old superstitution that 13 years was an unlucky number proved true the 18th of Decem- Der for the Baptist society held their 35th anniversary. The bad luck however, was regular freeze out with snow covered earth, so but few felt willing to feel the cold, even to attend the anniversary services.
 There was only part of the program executed which, how ever, seemed enjoyed by those present. The papers were good and well read. The recitation of little Miss Fisher was enjoyed in the way of diversion.
 The offering for the Orphans Homes was very good consider ing the number present. And no one has died from venturing out. The society appreciated the presence of those who dared to face the cold. Their presence added interest to the occasion.
 The distributor of tracts had quite a lot of good tracts for those desiring such and she was glad to have people take them. No telling the good that has fol- lowed in the wake of reading good tracts.
 The Society with unwritten pages begins to make history for their Seth years work. Let us make a good record.
