But every thing passed oIT nicely in this sec tion, nothing being done to mar the feelings of anyone, so far as we have been able to learn. Of course, they played a few pranks on “Sager,” but we feel better equipped to light the battles of life* that are now upon us than ever before. What a wonderful change has beern wrought since we were n little tot! We are living in a very fast age, and, to kt*op abreast of the times, we must cm ut many of the old ways and means and oatch on to the new inventions that line our pathway in every sphere of life. All old things must pass away to give room for the new. Old men must die to make room for the young, CREDITS: Bills Payable §4804 00 Taxes 1908 ltn 8 98 Dog tax, 1909 70 00 Fines and Forfeits 1794 86 Old Light Accounts 360 70 Light Fixtures 705 00 W. and L.
