Both communities were "out in good force, and the proceedings were pre- sided over by Rev. Mr. Rintoul. who was called to the chair. The pro-. gramme was pleasant and varied. the Singing of the quartette and of Gordon Henry. and the readings of Misses` Jamieson and Magee being much ap- preciated. Mrs. Stamp, who during her entire residence here. has given such generous and valued help at all church and community gatherings. was presented with an address and "purse, the former, which expressed ap-' preciation other services. being read by R. D. Henry, and the latter being placed in her hands by- D. Corbett. There was a happy lack of any of the tiresome addresses which are ant to characterize `such gatherings, and the whole company settled down to`. have a splendid `suppers with the guests _o ' the evening, \who received. the best" , wishes of their friends for;the future- .

Th: Ariluni--I V Last of Pioneer Farnily Leaves Thornton -It was in the very beginning of "things that the Morris family came into these parts, and a. number. of farms were cleared and for many years owned by them. One by one they `have been disposed of, and the last has now been sold by A. W. Morris, who has decided to retire and make `his home in Toronto. It is said that on the farm in question Mr. Morris father used to plan to clear ten acres "each year, atask which involved an amount of work that` only the pioneers seemed capable of `doing. Mr. Morris grandfather, Henry Morris, whose fine monument stands in the, family plot at Egbert, was the first reeve of the then newly-organized township of Essa. John McDonald has purchased the farm in question and has entered upon `its occupation, Mr. and Mrs. Morris having gone to their house in the city. Of late Mr. Morris has been in somewhat indifferent health. and it ishoped the change will prove `ben- eficial. The advantages of city life would be ,much augmented if they ` could be made to include the. noble` landscape which is viewed from the former Morris home on the hill. *5 UUUHLILUI supper.

The trees are rat- ' tling their twigs together, leafless and bare, but we know they will be here re-clothed in all their beauty in the spring. Why should any one grumble? The old year may have been a sorry friend to you, hemay have laughed at yourgood resolutions, and have ruined your business and robbed you of your `best friend, but let me tell` you, the `New Year can deal you a. harder blow, and run you out of the ring altogether.

December would be a; gloomy month were it not enlivened by the Yuletide festivals. Let, the families gather home as usual. Let the chil- dren hang up their stockings and let the mysterious Santa Claus fill them. Christmas got hold of most of the (grown-ups of today when they were children and has clung to them ever since. The kiddies of today help to make its spell stronger for their eld- ers. How great and far-reaching in their influence for good will be many of the kindnesses done at this season `by people who think them hardly worth while because" they seem such tritles. Christmas in some wonder- ful way opens the hearts of all hu-' manity. . We are more unselfish this -one week than in any month of all the year. ` 1 The nl vnnr in izhnuf fn Innva nu- IIIUIIL.
