Paul I. Johnston came over
from New York Friday evening
and spent the time until Monday
morning with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. K. Johnston. He
was accompanied back to the me
tropolis by his brother Harry,
who will spend ten days seeing
the sights of the big village.
A telegram or rather a series
of telegrams last Friday told Mrs
Morrow M. Kendall in rapid suc
cession of the illness and
later of the death of her sister
Miss Clara Pollock at a hospital
in Canonsburg, Pa. Mrs. Ken
dall left at once for Canonsburg
where the funeral was held on
Monday.
A telegram to Mrs. Albert K.
Nesbit last Saturday brought the
sad intelligence that a brother
was dying in Roanoake, Va. Mr.
and Mrs. Nesbit left for Roan
oake early Sunday morning. Mr.
Nesbit is one of the County Com
missioners elect, and may not be
able to be present at the organi
zation of the new board on Sat
urday. One of the most pleasant fea
tures of Christmas Day in Green
castle was the early morning con
cert given by the Pan Pipers
Glee Club. The Club sang from
the town clock tower. The pro
gram consisting of all the well
known Christmas carols. Quite
a number of persons went to the
square to hear them while others
remained home and could hear
quite distinctly the strains of
"Holy Night" and "Joy to the
World" through the still morn
ing air. This custom of the Glee
Club is a very beautiful one and
greatly appreciated by the citi
zens of the town.
We Should Smile.
v The thing that goes the farth
est toward making life worth
While, that costs the least and
does the most, is just a pleasant
smiie the smile that bubbles
from the heart that loves its fel
low men will drive away the cloud
of gloom and coax the sun again.
It's full o worth and goodness,
too, with ihanly kindness bent;
it's worth a million dollars and it
doesn't cost a cent There is no
room for sadness when we see a
cheery smile. Jt always has the
same good look it's never .out
of style; it nerves us on to try
again when failure makes us blue
Buch dimples of encouragement
are good for me and y?u. So
smile away; folks understand
what by a smile is meant it's
worth a million dollars and it
doesn't cost a cent

Old-FashioaefjL leather "Signs.
Here are ft' few weather signs
which are probably older than
any oae living to-day. Experi
ence has shown them to be fair
ly reliable, and some os them can
be explained on a scientific basis:
Moonlight nights have the heav
iest frosts.
The higher the clouds, the fin
er the weather.
The farther the sight the near
er the rain.
Dew is an indication of fine
weather. ,
When stars flicker in a dark
background rain or snow follow
soon. , . ,
Expect a strong wind with
stormy weather when smoke from
chimneys hangs near the ground.
Here are a few in verse. They
have the advantage of being eas
ily remembered;
Clear moon, frost soon.
Year of snow, fruit will grow.
Rain before seven, fine before
eleven.
If the sun set in gray, the next
will be a rainy day.
When the wind's in the south
the rain's in it's mouth.
The wind in the west suits
every one best
If you see grsss in January;
lock your grain in your granary.
Evening red and morning gray
help the traveler on his way;
Evening gray and morning red
Bring down rain upon your head.
When the clouds look like rocks
and towers,
The earth's refreshed by fre
quent showers.
If you can get the official weath
er report by telephone, better
count on that first But the pro
verbs and jingles just given are
better than a common guess.

The Cantata.
The cantata given by the Meth
odist Episcopal Sunday School in
the Auditorium Christmas even
ing was a high class entertain
ment and very much enjoyed by
the large number of persons pres
ent The members of the school
who took the respective parts in
the cantata, all did so well, that
it would be invidious to make any
distinction. Their teacher and
manager Mrs. C. B. Stevens, . is
a past master, when it comes to
pulling off a successful entertain
ment and had it not been for a
downpour of rain about the time
for going to the entertainment,
the room would have been filled.

Conditions ia Mexico..
A report having been published
that conditions in Mexico City
are good, being nearly normal
and the railway trains running,
a correspondent of the New York
Sun has sent a communication
that put3 a different aspect on af
fairs. The correspondent say?,
inpart: "The statement solemn
ly asserts that in Mexico peace
is restored and suffering relieved,
that business is better than at
any previous time during the
revolution, that the shops are
well stocked and patronized, that
the railroads are running'on reg
ular schedule, and that their
properties have been given back
to the companies which own, them
These astonishing statements fail
to find verification in the capital
or its environs or the sections
from which reports come at all.
An automobile ' ride of twenty
kilometres southeast of the na
tional palace this morning brought
one within range of the almost
continuous fighting between the
government and the Zapata forg
es. A walk in any directron from
the national palace will bring one
to a bread line. Even the gov
ernmcnt papers contain daily re
citals of the greatest number of
burglaries since the organized
looting by the incoming and out
going armies. The restocking of
the stores lhas not been carried
on in a manner which could be
called striking. With the mili
ary authorities exacting 3,000
pesos a car, is plain, unadorned
p'raft from the man who wishes
to move freight from Vesa Cruz
the rate is ptill rising the mer
chants are not encouraged to do
much tranf porting. ' If business
is better than it was it must be
remembered that for a time -the
shops( were not open at iill." It
does not take a heavy amount of
buying to shown improvement
over the zero point But the mis
statement about the railroad oper
ations is what has made the few
admirers of the American policy
shake their beads hopelessly.
The railroads ha ve not been - re
turned, to the companies and the
Administration knows it ' Even
Gen. Carranza has made no such
assertion. He did pay that the
roads would be returned when
military exigencies no longer re
quired their tenure by the gov
ernment He gave no indication
as to how long that will be.".
