Mrs. Elizabeth Berthold is spending the holidays with Father Berthold in Johnsburg. Pews were re-rented in St.. John's church last Sunday. Unpaid pews are open to anybody after Jan. 1. The chart at the door will indicate where the empty seats are to be found.

The Richmond poultry show, Dec. 31-Jan. 3, is drawing many from Johns­ burg. Several of our people have some fancy exhibits in Richmond and many rigs are headed that way this week to see the chicken show. Christmas services were exception­ ally grand in Johnsburg this year. The crib and the colored tf-ee lights made things prettier than ever before. Altar boys and members of the choir each received a box of candy for their fine performance Christmas morning. Thursday night, Jan. 1. the children will appear on the stage with their Christmas plays. Colored lights on the stc^*« promise to add much to the show and a big crowd is ex- ^-ctod. Uncle Sam and Santa C'laus appear on the stage in splendid dress. Reserved seats, 35 cents. An old proverb says: "A stitch in time saves nine." The creamery cor­ ner is a bad corner. Several smash lips have been narrowly averted of late and a bad one is apt to occur any time. Some rig stands idle at that point. Milk wagons will do well to keep the main road free while waiting for their- turn and avoid trouble. Edwin Debrecht has returned from Chicago quite recovered from his oper­ ation.
