We wish it for our many friends and readers of the Star and the staff of our esteemed paper. One resolution that I will carry out ere it be forgotten is to congratulate the Blackstock correspondent on win- ning the first prize, in the correspond- ence contest, at the same time hoping that it will be her painful duty to re- vegse the congratulations next year. Owing to so much sickness in our) community the holiday festivities were somewhat curtailed. Our Christ- mas concert was a success, in spite |' of the flu. The annual meeting of the Sunday School was held on Thursday evening last. Financial reports were left over until a later date owing to not having the final Sunday collection in "at that date.

No. 16, was held in the school room on Wednesday morning last. The secretary's report was read and 'adopted. Mr. J. N. Mark was re- elected trustee for the next three years. A resolution was passed giv- ing the trustees authority to pur- chase 1% acres of land bringing our school ground up to school require- ments, for the purpose of playground. Mr, Wes. Frise has installed a large grain grinder and will do custom grinding. Judging by the nomination meeting at Manchester on Monday, we will have an election. May the best men win.

THE LATE JOHN WANNAMAKER On Sunday morning, there passed away one of our most highly esteemed citizens in the person of Mr. John Wannamaker. Deceased had been in rather poor health during the last few years, but able to be out. About two weeks ago he was taken suddenly ill and was unable to ward off the complications that set in. Mr. Wan- namaker had reached the age of 73 years and until quite recently was quite smart. His cheerful nature will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, one son Hiram Wannamaker, and one daughter, Mrs, Isaiah Irwin, both of this place. The funeral service was held on Tuesday afternoon at his son's resi- dence, the Rev. J. W. Davidson, con- Mrs, S. J. Wool- dridge sang "There is no night there."
