Christmas Day in this village was
entirely without the usual arcompani-
ment of snow and ice. The roads were
muddy and travel more like that ex-
perienced in the early spring of the
past years. The villagers spent the
day quietly, attended a varied and
quite excellent Christmas program
presented in the Lutheran church in
the evening and pronounced the day a
merry one.
Reports from Memorial Hospital, in
Cumberland, early this week indicated
slight improvement in the condition
of Merchant C. E. Ellithorp, of this
village, who was seriously injured in
an automobile accident near Oakland
on Thursday of last week.
Milton Wiley, son of the late James
P. Wiley, died in a Cumberland hos
pital last Sunday night after a pro-
tracted illness. The deceased was Sc
years of age and is survived by his
widow and a number of children and
many other relatives.
Members of the young women's
Busy Workers Sunday school class
will hold a box social in the village
school house next Saturday evening,
January l. The public is cordially in
vited to attend.
1t is our sincere wish that the New
Year may bring happiness, comfort
and a full measure of prosperity to
The Republican and all of its readers.

AS a result a mix-up occurred and to
give the contents of these letters as
they were written to Santa, we publish
them as they were intended.
