The New Year.
The New Year bells ring loud and
clear
Promising happiness thruout the
year;
The old year fades and dies away
Let it be gone; bid it not stay!
See what the coming year happens to
hold,
Sorrows and joys-about the same as
the old?
There must be sunshine; there must
be rain,
To ripen the harvest, you'll find it
the same.
So let US be merry, bright and gay,
Scattering gladness along the way.
And this is our motto this New Year
Day:
Excelsior! Excelsior! Excelsior!
A beautiful Christmas program was
very successfully rendered on Thurs
day evening, December 21st, in the
Hutton public school building. Nearly
every scholar participated and with
few exceptions acquitted themselves
most creditably. The affair was man
aged by Miss Eva Falkenstein, the
principal of the school, who is deserv-
ing and is receiving much praise, es-
pecially for the artistic effect that
was produced by the various scenes
and recitals on the program. The
most pleasing feature Of the evenings
entertainment was the rendition of a
very ancient and beautiful Christmas
hymn entitled, silent Night. Holy
Night" by a number of the school
children under the very excellent and
capable leadership of Miss Falken-
stein, the instructor
The senior room of the school build
ing was most appropriately decorated
for the occasion; a very neat spruce
tree, ladenad with beautiful orna-
ments, graced a corner of the stage,
while a waXen taper glowed forth
from every window, giving fitting ex-
preston Of the true light that came
into the world over nineteen hundred
years ago-an anniversary that is eel
ebrated the world over. There were
also many other symbols of the happy
Iulc-tidc IN evidence, all Of which, no
| doubt breathed unconsciously a breath
Of the Christmas spirit into the hearts
of the vast audience that was there
assembled to witness the execution of
that which l have endeavored to de-
scribe.
At the conclusion of the very splen-
did program Santa Claus appeared
upon the scene, much to the delight of
all, greeting the children with a loud
shout and hurrah, and soon after dis
tributing the candies and oranges
which the good teachers had provid-
ed as treat for their scholars.
At the expiration OF his visit h.
spoke very kindly to the children, en-
curing where they resided and prom
Using to visit them on Christmas eve.
We hope that he did, awarding them
Loyalty for their faithfulness towards
duty throughout the past year.

more. Mrs. Golf was the mother of
