A party of Albany skaters came over Saturday evening to enjoy the last night's sport, as the rink closed that nieht for the season.

A public reception was given Rev. and Mrs. Albert Monosmith . at the Congre gational church, Friday evening, and a large crowd attended. The church was beautifully decorated in honor of the occaaion, the parlor being in pink and the dining room in red.

Mr. and Mrs. Monosmith have made many friends since their ar rival iu tiiis city, and are very popular with their congregation. Boys leave the farm because they don't eDjoy fourteen or fifteen hours of bitter hard work every day; they don't like to get up betore daylight in the morning and toil like steam engines un til after dark in the evening. The best way to entourage the farmer boys is to treat them as though they were human beings ; let them have their sleep in tae mornings; call, ten hours a day's work ; let them have their evenings for them selves, without a thousand heartbreak ing chorea to embitter their souls and make them old before their time. Ex. The Iowa picnic, held Saturday in Avery's Grove, was attended by a large crowd, mostly former Iowa resideats, and the verdict of all is that the occasion was delightful.
