Miss Fatnie Osborne is meeting with much favor among the pupils and pa­ trons of our school, and we believe she richly merits it. • Mm. J. W. Oisty has been quite ill for the past week but is reported on th gain. Her many friends will be glad to hear thif, and all are wishing for her speedy recovery. Mise Millie Lawson had a Christmas tree and exercises appropriate to the fes­ tive occasion, in hm> school in Hartlstid. were also given by Miss Carr, who t t acbes in the Hager district near Al- R-onquia. Mi»=s Myrtle 8tsvens discharged the fi­ nancial obligations attending theChrist- maa tree exercises in such an able man­ ner that a balance large enough to aid the worthy poor remained in ner hands, which was promptly distributed. Frank Hall is as happy as a clam in high water. Christmas yielded him $11 cash, besides flour, wood and other things. It is the highest evidence of good society here that the worthy poor we never forgotten. The fttngwood Band furnished music on Christmas eve, or rather Saturday eye. There is no good reason why our band cannot, by attention to practice, be rated.as the best band in the county Some of our young men complain that there is no work and some are never idle. It's the sameevferywhere. WhileChicago is overrun with idle men, a man, a good worker, can go there and find work. While many who live right here have passed the major part of ,their time in idleness some have not been able to do halt the work they had. Mr. Wood, a man who came here last summer, has not missed t. day's work eince Sundays and holidays excepted. Won't some of those yonng men take notice, if you won't do the work somebody else roust. Prsaident Cleveland has not been at tending to his business of late and the result our P. O. has remained in charge of a good Republican; but, Saturday eve Santa took it upon himself to exercise the presidential prerogative and deliver­ ed over the office to, as he said, "Our es­ teemed feltow cittaen, H. W. Allen." The office boxea were identical with the Stev­ ens egg ca«e frames with glass front and nicely numbered. He forgot, however, the commission necessary to transfer Uncle Sam's postal business, so, for the present, it will be conducted at the old stand. The boys had a good laugh, and Herb, laughed with them. The Christmas tree exercises and cere­ monies here were a!! that could be wished (or by even the most earnest advocate and patrons of the rights of our little ones, and 1 think it is safe to state that none of them were forgotten by old "Santa," who came to Ringwood just a little early so as to be on hand at some other gathering of expectant boys and girls before the season, which like every other good thing of this wo Id, passes, all too soon, away. The tree, or trees, for there were two of them, were covered, hung full of presents to serve and to please, and at about 8 p. M. "Santa" scrambled down a huge fire place arranged so that ail could eee the good old aunt come down the chim­ ney. The moment tN|had shaken off the soot and regained hiM#M£h, he stepped forward and by the aid ofa Mree of able lieutenant proceeded to distribute gifts right and left, and varied and numerous they were. Nearly every gift was accom­ panied by some compliment from Santa, and the old fellow succeeded in making the distribution so rapidly and in beep­ ing the happy gathering in such a state of merriment, that none suspected old Father Time had hurried the hours along from 8 to 11 until Santa himself an­ nounced the hour, bade good night and took bis departure until another Christ­ mas eve. As this is the last letter to the Plain- dealer for '93, we think it proper to take a retrospective view and give the sub­ stance of it to the public, that is the good part. First, what improvements have been made here during the year? Now as the surrounding country is the circulatory system the support of a town we shall take notice of the outside first. Smith Brut*, «,t Suiii'uV Corners, have outdone the formen grandeur of ye olden time and have erected a bouse and improved the grounds about until they have one of the finest places in this vicin­ ity. Just this side Ed. Smith has made similar improvements, and for size and taste in construction his place is unsur­ passed by any country place known to the writer. Geo. Harrison, on the old King farm, has erected a palatial resi­ dence and has left nothing undone, from cellar to garret to make it a model home. The winter came too early to ad­ mit of the grounds being laid out as is the intention; but when spring comes Mr. Harrison will complete the task be­ gun and so energetically pushed in '93. and will then have a most beautiful place, reminding one of the old English Baronial estates. Going west from the store the new school house is the only improvement we sha'l mention. The building isa "m dodeMi did as well as they oouldi and fuay one; or (toy M men a ns well equipped with ;#p(§tt«Qs, and as well managed as any m this county. Going eaffc a new house; owned byChas. Thompson, shows the path ol improve­ ment. The house was erected in '93, but was not completed till last summer. A new chimney and other improvements show o^ur factory to be alive aad denotes ~ty in the business. nroe St Jonathan Brown has a . .. ,bJy. cozy residence which will re- celve the finishing touches in the spring ol ,Wr,! The blacksmith shop of Griraold- by Aad Pint has become quite a wagon manufacturing establishment, and their work is in greater demand than ever be­ fore. The new store we must mention, as it too, was complet ed during the yew, we written this art icle last week it might have been suspected that we were mak­ ing a bid for holiday trade for J. W. C. St Son; but we believe we may say now virithoot being accused ol any such inten­ tion, some things in regard to the store and the trade it has done the past fear. The store is one of the best in this county, and has a patronage equaled by few of them. It is unquestionably the cheapest place, quality of goods con­ sidered, within easy reach of our people. I hate been buyinggoode for over twenty Ave years, most, of tne time of a various kind and for a large family; aad during the last eight months have been travel­ ing through th« county, and each week asked prices of staple articles and novel­ ties as well, and it is my experience that Ringwood is the cheapest place to buy goods this side of Chicago. Do you want staple or faney articles or Jewelry* bard ward, Hour and feed, in fact any­ thing found in a metropolitan town buy it at the lowest possible price of J. W. Cristy & Son, Ringwood, III. Now this is no idle talk and if you come hereto trade and find otherwise will npologiae for the article. It was our intention when we began not to make half m many words about, it, but fewer would not cover the variety of their wares and the above but poorly sets It forth.
