Miss Erma Luaer, organist and music teacher at St. Mary's ^school, left town to spend a few days with her folks, where she will remain till Saturday. Children Sing Carols Christmas eve there was a jnyster- us gathering of school children with their music teacher, Miss Lauer. Nobody knew it. The time was set for 5:30. At a given signal all romped away and disappeared in the thick >w. Everything was a jnystery. Their coming, their going and destin­ ation, all in the dark. / Suddenly we heard the singing of Christmas, carols. Was it a sleigh- ride? No. It was at the windows of the sick that they had gathered in real Christomas spirit to sing Christ­ mas songs to the people who expect­ ed very little of a Christmas. And the doors opened to see what it was all about, many a tear was seen glistening in the eyes of the aged. From house to house the pious band went until their little feet could not wade any longer thru the snow. On account of their late start and the snow they had to give up their plan to go to West McHenry. It was real fun for the"kids." Those who missed seeing "The Alien," as shown at the Central opera house on Christmas afternoon and evening, missed one of the best silent dramas ever written. Never before, to our knowledge, has Man­ ager Smith shown as good a picture that one of last Monday. The scenes and acting by an all star cast were exceptionlly fine, while the work of George Beban, as the Italian, could not have been improved upon. In short, those who visited the Cen­ tral on Christmas day saw something exceptionally good. $1*0 Reward, $1M The readers of this paper <wlll b«. pleased to learn that there is at least; one dreaded disease that science bat been able to cure in ait its stages, and that la catarrh. Catarrh being greatly Influenced by cuiintltutiunal condition* requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System thereby de­ stroying* the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting: na­ ture in doing its work.
