Liberty Weekly Tribune` December 21, 1877
Mr. Editior:  Wie gehts?
Do you enjoy this summ-like weather?  Have you a "Santa Claus" up your way; if 
so, send him down here with all the nice things he can carry.
  Holidays are the general topics now.  You better take a little recreation, 
for you look as though you might be consumptive from being confined to your 
office so closely.  I think you ought to feast on turkey, chickens, mackerel 
and oysters during the Christmas week as they would strengthen your physical 
constitution.  You are therefore cordially invited to visit our town next 
Tuesday eve since the "Mo. City Cornet Band" intends giving a grand supper, 
christmas tree and musical entertainment at that time.
  The table will be supplied with the above mentiond goo eatings, and many 
other delicacies - all for the small sum of fifty cents.  The music alone will 
be worth the money, so you have the benefit of the supper and Christmas tree 
free gratis.  Bring "Joe and Tom" with you.
  Last Sunday at eleven, Rev. Shores preached a good temperance sermon at the 
M.E. Church.  In the afternoon there was held a Sunday shcool mass meeting at 
the Christian Church.  Addresses were delivered by Rev. Shores, Messrs. 
Winfrey, Donaghe, Grubs and Donovan.  Great interest was manifested by all 
present, and we trust as the result of this meeting many will take more active 
part in this noble cause than formerly.
  Mr. Gash has returned from Chicago, highly pleased with his trip.
  Mr. Hayer, formerly a citize of this place, is visiting his many friends.  He 
intends returning to Yankton in a few weeks.
  I am glad that my good friend Mr. W.E. Wharton succeeded so well with 
his "man-catcher."  I would however suggest that he change the name of his 
invention and give it the appelation of woman-catcher since he was so furtunate 
as to catch a woman the first time.
                                   Amicus.
