The "Progressive supper" at Mrs. Geo. C. Lang's Wednesday netted the Village Improvement society a little over $35.00. This money pays for the new garbage cans, and leaves a balance which, with the dues already collected, will finish paying for the park and leave the society out of debt, it is hoped that the next work under taken by the society will be to beautify the grounds of the railroad station. It should be understood that the V. I. S. has nothing whatever to do with streets or sidewalks, that being the work of the trustees entirely. The V. I. S. undertakes to beautify and improve some v spots which the village could not appropriate money for, but which have a great deal to do with the general appearance of the place.

No more illness, no more nights of pain, Ours the loss, the heartache, but hers the gain.. . . Out from a life of happy usefulness. Out from the home her smile was wont to bless, Into a land of never-ending day, Where pain and sorrow never find their way, When day was" new" the sudden sum mons came, The tired heart was stilled, and life's bright flame Went out, to shine no more for us be low, . - 1" :-i But it will be rekindled, r this we know ; ' For love, immortal, cannot pass away, And somewhere, we shall find our own some day.
