Last winter when we had to buy coal to keep warm tire coal byrons punched the price skyward. Now we have to buy ice to keep cool arid these cold-hearted dealers have raised t lie price a few degrees. Verily, mans’ journey with time is not over a bed of roses. All societies in O’Neill are request ed to participate in the decoration day exercises on May 30.

Man's life is full of crosses and temptations. lie came into tlio world without his consent, goes out against his will, and the trip between the eternities is exceedingly rocky. When lie is little the big girls kiss him. if lie raises a large family he is aclnimp, but if raises a. check lie is a thief and a fraud and isshunneef. if lie is poor he is a poor manager; if he is rich lie is dishonest, If lie is in politics you can’t tell where to place him, and is no good to ids country; if he does an act of charity, its for policy; if he don't give to charity lie is a stingy man and lives only for himself; if he diA young there is a great future be fore him; if he lives to ail old age lie missed his calling.
