Well, children, when we
a*ve yon a column in the
Headlight, wo thought we
were doing tana groat favor,
hut later, we ascertained that
you were of more service to
us thau we were to you. Our
relations havo been mutually
pleasant, and mutually bone
ficial. Your letters havo
been a help to the paper, and
they have helped you too.
Now we extend our heart
felt thanks to you all, hop
ing that you will continue to
use your portion of the (ta
per. There is one thing you
sometimes neglect-it is
this,—you fail to answer
some of the questions asked
by others. Now, when a
cousin asks a qumti in, let
any one who can answer it do
so. It does not matter if all
answer at the aame time.
Let ua all try to do our
parts still better this year
When we write, let ua do our
beet, every time, and it will
| improve ua more than we can
imagine. Hurrah tor tho
Headlight and tho doar chil
dren, for 1903!
