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.
