Some women came to me to ask
If Id perform the Httlo task
Of speaking a word of lovo and cheer
Explaining our reason for being hero

Something nice in honor of you
They say its now about three years
Years of work of joys and fears
Sinco you havo led the Ladies Aid
To thd success that they have made
Through all these jears your noblo band
Has helped the church with heart and hand
To rear her walls and pay her debts
For you alls praise and no regrets
We do not boliove when folks are dead
Is the time when good things should be said
-So wo are here that we may state
Your work jour self we appreciate
In theso hearts of ours you have a place
That tho finger of timo cannot eraso
But we must stop this little talk
And to tho tables take a walk
3or thero I know all fixed so neat
Is something good for us to eat
And thats not all with our best wishes
We all chipped in bore are some dislies

Agnes Elizabeth Huber
A dainty Flower came into this beau
tiful world and grew in the sunshine of
Gods lore Its delicate petals expand
ed into dainty graceful smoothness and
its sweet face was always smilingand hap
py gladness and sympathy at the sight
But the cold winds blew and the dainty
Flowret despite care and protection
withered and sank leaving only the
sweet memory of its presence But the
Spring of Resurrection will come soon
and then will this pure Flower grow
again and instinct with life eternal
wax strong and vigorous in the world
which knows no death the Kingdom
not built of hands but Gods eternal
mansion in the skies There will those
sorrowing ones left behind to struggle
for a timebehold their dear child again
and gaze upon her sweet face for ever
more Agnes Elizabeth Huber first saw
this worlds light in 1900 and she lived
six short years to bless those around her
Match eighteenth was her last day on
earth and her pure soul took flight in
to peace and love eternal Her sorrow
ing parents are more than grateful to
those kind friends who helped them in
their hour of sorrow and need
A WORD OF THANKS
Our hearts are full of gratitude to all
for the many acts of kindness and words
of sympathy extended freely during the
illness and after the death of our daught
er We shall ever hold them all in grate
ful remembrance
Mr and Mrs E P Huber

An Uncommon Snowfall
The snowfall of Sunday was quite ex
traordinary for this section of country
Perhaps the fall exceeded a foot For
tunately it spread evenly over the land
scape and there was little or no wind
and the thaw of Monday and Tuesday
soon removed danger of drifting and
Boaked much of the precious moisture
into the soil Fall small grain and
fruit are left in superb condition
