Hooker and Smith in their endeavors to make it as success. W. F. Smith will not resign his position to accept that offered him at Winona. Dayton can congratulate herself on his refusal for it would be extremely difficult for Mr. Sims to find one capable of filling Mr. Smith’s place. He is one of old Sheffield’s most faithful and best. The position offered was a $75 per month and bids fair to be held at Mr. Smith’s disposal later. Rev. Wilbur has begun his revival services and will continue this week every night at 7:00 o’clock. All are invited to attend. The Methodist Aid society will furnish dinner and supper on New Year’s day in the Universalist church. All are invited to be present and bring 15 cents for your dinner.
