Consort of Gener'l John Stark
who died
June 29th 1914

1t will be seen that less attention is here given to
punctuation than in the generals cpitaph. From the
absence Of the comma after the name " Gen. John
Stark" one might be in doubt whether the "who re-
fers to him or to elizabeth Stark and consequently
whether it was he or she who died at the time men
tioned difficulty, however, are afterwards help
ed ont of somewhat by the better adherence to anoth
err grammatical rule, that relating to gender in the use
of the pronoun "her."
Notwithstanding these criticisms it is with feeling
of awe that we stand beside these memorials of the
distinguished dead. May we not hope, ere long to
behold moro worthy expression of gratitude and re-
membmnce of their noble deeds. A..

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

| THE CoMMoN.-Two or three years since several Of
the young men in this village formed themselves into
n voluntary association for the improvement Of that
portion of the village known MS the "Common." In
this audqble enterprise they assisted by most of
leading citizens who contributed literally for the
purpose. The sole object Of those who moved in the
matter was to redeem sandy barren plain and make
1t pleasant place of resort. For this purpose, hav-
ing obtained permission of the proper authorities they
enclosed the Common with neat fence for protection
and then planted trees. made gravel walks, erected
music stand and seats in shaded and slightly places
and otherwise contributed to its embellishments Tn
til recently We had heard not a word of complaint from
any quarter: on the other hand much commentator
was bestowed upon the way and manner in which
this public spirited movement had been originated
and carried forward. During the present sew
eral of the trees recently planted torn up md
injured by the boys who congrcgated there for the
purposes of amusement. This work of spoliation led
to the nerdictng of those rough sports that caused
such injuries Since then we have heard Of several
cases where censure is cast upon those who
have been and ntercs ed in this improvement and
in some instances remarks having tendency to en-
courage boys in making ruthless depredations upon
the onamentation Of the Common have been made
1t is claimed by these disaflccted persons that the
Common was intended to be open to the boys for
playground, and that they not rightfully cxclud-
ed from continuing such sports they may choose TO
engage in within its limits 1t seems to us that these
complaints have their existence in misapprchension
of the objects sought to be attained by those who have
been engaged IN this work Of improvement. 1t is no
private purpose private advantage that the associa
ton seek. They have contributed their own time and
money and such other funds have been placed at
their disposal for the sole object of improving a neg
lectcd portion Of our village. Tonccomplish design
entirely uusefsh they wish the sports of the boys
to be so limited in that locality that they shall not in
terero with and destroy the trees that have been plant
cd with much In few years these trees
will be out of harms way. is there anything unreas-
enable is this, would ask Is there any ndivid-
al in the place who does not wish to see the village
improved and bcautfed ? We hope not and we
further hope that every will lend helping hand
in the completion of SO patriotic purpose as the i'm
provement of the Common.
