The editors of Cordell—the vener-
able editor of the News, the young
editor of the Beacon, and—The One
and Only Editor—all sllice seem to
have an aversion to the Cosmopolitan
Club for they said nothing about the
psrty the Club gave Dec 16 at the
Keformed Parsonage under tbe effici-
ent generalship of Mrs Fields.
Thete wa< a sound of reveling about
night for forty guests were buUily en
giged in molding pig* from Yucatan.
And^there were raxor backs and
pigs grown to mature awtnehood,
nogs, and the "cream and quintets

by mean* of dtinty cards and elgbt

In pit, carrom, flinch and ploklog po-
tatoes wltb wee spoona.
At midnight an elaborate IudcIi
was aerved and tbe winners to tbe
progressive g<me w< re found to be
Mrs Mann who recMved a beautiful
olive ^dlsli and Mr Duff who
won a stick pin, a little white woolly
lamb quietly stands on the deak of
tbe Reformed minister of Cordell

Ing on the beauties and ben tl's of

In the if r 18{ 7 the winter was
