VILLAGE NOTES 

— Monday afternoon the team of John Severson came running down Main street with whiffletrees dragging in the snow. It was feared that an accident had happened or might occur, but two citizens spotted the runaways and stopped them at the railroad crossing. It was later discovered that no one was hurt; Mr. Severson had left the horses a few minutes to secure a sleigh and they had started off. 

— If you haven’t completed your Christmas shopping for the children, call on F. S. Lape for dolls, toys, pianos, books, flashlights and school supplies.

THOMPSON’S LAKE 

— Mrs. Randolph Wright is suffering with boils in her ears. 

— Six inches of snow fell here Sunday making fine sleighing, but making hard going for the autos, which were few. Had there been much wind, the roads would have been made impassable, as it is, there are banks which Mr. Engalls, the mail man, had to shovel his way through on Monday.
