On ihis the first of the New Year and of
the 20th Century, we extend our best wish
es to i:he readers 6f The Chronicle.
The oor of Time has opened for the first time iu 100 years;
and has let in the 20th century and closed forever on the 19th.
With sadness we think of the dear old 19th century now
gone forever. But wo must not dwellon this thought; the
20th demands our time and. attention, !and we welcome her
w ith her prospects, hopes and possibilities. Every day duty
demands our attention and we will as heretofore try. to meet
her demands wth all justice to others and ourselves..

The McCann Family.
In reference to the prolific
McCann family of Edwards
township, we erred slightly in
last issue. Instead of seven
children there are nine and
three births instead of two.
About three and a half years
ago Mrs. McCann gave birth to
two children. In Eighteen
months she gave birth to threS
children, and two years later,
about the first of last December
she gave birth to four children.
All the children are li rlng.
This remarkable incident has
attracted the attention of the
big dailies in this country and
Europe and photographs of
the family will be taken this
week and sent to a number of
papers, r
p qm bargain, m
Entire Family Crazy.
