there are other things that bring joy to the heart
of the editorial toller and the greatest of them is
a word of appreciation of the work that keeps us
everlastingly at it. A kind word costs so little
and makes life so much more worth the while
that the wonder is that everyone doesn't scatier
them more freely. We are grateful indeed for
these favors and trust that we will be able to

FaMiLy REusiox.—Quaite a bappy fam-
ily reonion was held by Mrs. H. A. H.
Gray at the home of her daoghter, Mrs.

Those present were Mrs. T. A. Hartsock
and four children; Mrs. M. Behrers, a
grand-daughter, and two children, of
Baffalo Run ; Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Gray
and three children, Mrs. M. Gobeen and

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Gray, and four
children, of Fairbrook, twenty-one in all,

for various reasons. The day was a very
pleasant one for all, the only regret being
that the time was entirely too short.

Wit Srare CoLrnrce Soxs oF VET-
ERANS.—Last Friday evening will be a
memorable one for the members of the
Gen. James A. Beaver Camp, No. 74, Sons
of Veterans, of State College. It was the
cecasion of the mustering in of a dozen
new members in which quite a number of
old veterans took an interesting part.
Captain J. H. Holmes presided and was
the mustering in officer, and the impres-
sive ceremony was carried through with-
out a break. Following the mustering in
all repaired to Longwell’s restaurant where
a hounteous luoch was served after which
there was a smoker and camp fire.

NEW YEAR SHOOTERS.—Not since the
birth of the present century has any New
Year heen heralded in with so much noise
as was 1906 at 12 o'clock Sanday night
when upwards of fifty New Year shooters,
mostly men, went all over the town and
with revolvers and double-barrel shot guns
fired volley after volley of blank shells. T¢
was a very sound sleeper who was not
awakened by the shooters, but the one
redeeming feature was that they all got
tired and went home by one o'clock and
all was placid and quiet from that time
until morning.

Mrs. Harries Thomas Kurtz, who
spent three months of the past summer
traveling in Europe, read a moet inter-
esting paper on ‘‘The Netherlands’ to a
large and appreciative aundience in the
Presbyterian chapel on Tuesday evening
for the beaefit of the Mite society. It was
a charming glimpse, to the stay-at-home,
into the life and customs of what is con-
sidered by many travelers the quaintest
and most interesting country in Europe
and it is to be hoped Mrs. Kurtz will give
us the pleasure of bearing her impressions
of other places visited in her stay abroad.
—Q0n Sanday, December 17h, the
Martha Baptist church presented their pas-
tor, A. C. Lathrop, with a nice purse
of money and requested him to use
the same in the purchase of an overcoas.
The presentation speech was made by Mr.
Henry Cronister, who in choice and happy
language expressed the esteem and confi-
dence in which church and community
keld pastor Lathrop. Mr. Lathrop quite
feelingly responded in an expression of
thanks. The contributors to the purse
were not only members of the church but
other friends living in the community at
Julian and at Port Matilda.
