The different branches of the church reported their labors for the year. Church Treasurer Dr. A. G. Catt made his report of finances and J. L. Brady explained the needs of the church for another year, and pledge cards were given to all who were present. *; V Bne very satisfactory thing in the finances of the church was the fact that about SBOO in addition to the pledged amounts found its way into the treasury of the church, and the treasurer reported that the minister’s salary for the year had been paid in full, the other expenses of the church kept up and there was a small balance on hand. During this time, also, the Yewell meetings were held at a cost of about SSOO and all this expense was paid. The members of the church believe that it is in a vary healthy and prosperous condition and the pledges of support for the ensuing year are very encouraging.

Up to ten months ago shq had been in very excellent health for one of her advanced years, but a cancerous growth on her right breast which started at that time could not be cured and finally caused her death. She is the widow ,of Joseph Kahler, who resided near Stoutsburg, in Wheatfield township for many years and whose death occurred five years ago next April. Following his death his widow lived for a time with her daughter, Mrs. John Misch, in Wheatfield township, but came here in September, 1906, and took up her residence with her son, where she resided until her death.

Baden, Germany. She leaves four children, viz: Andrew Kahler, of this towhship; Mrs. John Misch, of Wheatfleld;, Mrs. Theila Virily and John Kahler, of Chicago.

Miss Edith Mofflt, 35 years of age, daughter of Miles Mofflt, of Fair Oaks, and for some years a school teacher, died at 8 o’clock Wednesday evening. She had been a cripple for some years and for the past year had been sick with tuberculosis. She had spent considerable time taking treat-’ ment at a hospital in St. Louis. She was an estimable young lady and greatly admired by all who knew her and her patient suffering during her declining days was the wonder of all who knew of her case. She will be buried Saturday, the funeral being held at Fair Oaks.

J. C. Watson, who lives on the J. J. Hunt farm in Gillam township, entertained the young, folks in and around tljat neighborhood at a New Year’s party last Saturday night. One hundred and twelve were present and the event proved one of the most pleasant social affairs held in Gillam township for many years. The 'event was in honor of the 21st birthday anniversary of his son, Roy. For supper oysters were served and the evening : was spent in games and conversation, and ripples of mirth and merriment indicated the extent of the enjoyment the guests were having. We are now well into the fifth successive weeki of real, hard, severe winter, during which time 'the mercury has fallen below zero about ten or twelve times and hovered close to it several other mornings, while some entire days have been near the zero mark. No break is in sight and people are getting accustomed to the weather and don’t seem to mind it very much. All are hoping that it forebodes a real kf> rlng-Ilke spring and that after its lively capers during the cold weather months old winter will hunt its hole and not interfere with the progress of spring work; It is probably the longest spell of winter weather in many years, but not a day of It has so severe but that people could get jj>ut and take eare of ordinary winter work. There have been no blizzards and very, little driftting of the snow. It is a real nice winter.
