Wilcox Petty have any style and size of shoo that you want, at reason able prices for cash, Little Annie Thomson, daughter of Mr, Francis Thomson of this place, guve an exeolleiH rendition for one so young of Holland's poem entitled at the Congregational Sunday school entertainment on Christmas evening. Thu entertainment at the Congregational church last Sunday evening was well attended and an entire success. The night was a very beautiful one, inviting home-stayers out, and the attractive appearance of the Interior of tho church invited them within, and all who entered were well paid for do-lug so.

It is wrong in principle and Injurious ia its results to condemn any person for trying to do his or her duty, oonsclonttously and honestly, even though that porson may sometimes err in the manner of the performance of that duty. Purtios who constantly find fuult with a public ofllcor, for performing his sworn duty, although he may at times seem over zealous in doing so, wrong a servant ot tho public, which might have tho effect of causing him to neglect his duties at a time when tho parties complaining might need his services badly and suffer much as a result of such neglect.

Many porsous of good standing In society too frequently make sport of people who aro trying to lead a religious lifo, and declaim loudly against tho acts and words ot the ministers of the Gospel, often thereby causing tho more timid church members to stand aloof from active participation in church work, and hindering many of those outside tho pale of the church from entering therein. Fault-finding and complaining, without any reason for so doing, never benefits anyone, but are always fruitful sources of much harm that, in many instances, can never be undone, or in any way toned for.

In a whole village it is difficult to change for three or five rubles. The number of cattle has been decreasing since the last famine. Whole villages are living upon potatoes and water. At present, owing to assistance from the government and private channels, tho peasants have received enough money to enable thfm to sow their fields. The czar has also provided horses known as the "czar's horses," to help peasant families till their ground and keep them from going to increase the number of city proletariat.

The "czar's cows" will save with their milk hundreds ot children from disease and even death. Perhaps this money of the czar will give roofs to many houses." A serious question of jail etiquette lias arisen at Horka Springs, where four convicts absented themselves without leave from the county prison and went to a dance, In the morning they were all back again at tho jail door, clamoring for admission and breakfast. The justly Incensed jailer refused to take them In, saying they had abused his hospitality. The matter was taken to higher authorities and the exiles have obtained their old quarters.
