Good Evening.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 Last year I wrote about the clouds, "silver lined", worried and fretted and grieved and pined, For had my doubts of them e'er being found, Now know l was wrong, my logic unsound,
 Friend of mine. had almost forgotten the main things in life That make living worth while in this turmoil and strife, Now see no more clouds though it may sound quite odd, Only bright lnings' show since I've really ' found God,
 Friend of mine. Put your faith and your trust in this Presence Supreme And you'll find all the blessings He sends are no dream, "Silver Linings" abound, Peace and Joy ever
 reign, Happy New Year is now one glad joyous
 refrain,
 Friend of mine.

BOY WITH
MATCHES

That a small boy with matches Is
a very dangerous combination was
very conclusively proven Thursday
afternoon, shortly before one o'clock,
when this combination started a
blaze among packing boxes and ex-
celsior, in the yard in the rear of
Ashby's drug store, on Main street,
in the very heart of the business Sec
ton of this town.
The blaze was discovered by Mr.
N. G. Brown, just as it was getting
under way. He gave the alarm and
with buckets of water he and Mr.
Ashby succeeded in keeping the fire
in check until the arrival of firemen
with apparatus, when a stream from
the chemical tank soon smothered
the flames.
This is one of the narrowest es-
capes our town has had, as the blaze
was in the rear of the middle build
ing, of row of closely built frame
structures, and disastrous fire was
prevented only by it's timely discov-
cry and prompt action.
