The graded school under the charge
OF Mr.. Cilley have again commenced. II
seems pleasant to see the troop Of children
on their way to the school II eivea the
town an APPEARANCE Of life to ~. 800 to
400 of them 1T once. We are very fortu-
nate In baing able to secure the services of
Mr.. Cilley for another year. He has
made our school an honor and blessing
to our town. Mr.. CilleX has been several
times offered larger salary than we are
able to give him, but he has made our
school success and takesi pride in it. -
any man has a JUS. pride in the success of
his earnest endeavors to do his best, and
Is unwilling to leave US, as he ssss .
of the fruits of his first years
labor among US. Mr.. Cilley teaches be-
cause he loves the occupation, "A any
other professional man loves his work, and
does not teach for the nero salary. He
should as he has, receive the hearty co.
operation of our citizens in his Efforts to
procure to US the benefits of Q gsod
school.
BY the way we witnessed one of the
pleasantest gatherings We ever saw on
Friday, the Sd of this month, at Csptsin
Cooks. 1t was the occasion of the birth,
day party of Cora Loper and Winnie
Paige granddaughter of the Captain
and his estimable lady Mrs. Cook. They
invited all the children that they knew
down to their house about two miles
from the village. His house is pleasantly
located, with several large maple trees in
front and . handsome lawn, and sd-
mirably suited for gathering like this.
We drove by in the afternoon and wsrs
much pleased with the appearance. Some
IS or 30 Of the young gents and miasss
were enjoying tbsmselves. assisted but
not restrained by Mrs. Cook and Mrs.
Paige her daughter. The children I'D
the run Of the whole house aud tho pre-
misses generally, and seemed 70 enjoy il 10
the fullest extent. A large table, spread
only a. Mrs. Cook has the reputation of
being able to spreAd, in the grove, looked
tempting enough We mneh rsgrstssA
that We were unable to accept Ars-
Cooks kind Invitation IN remain and sss
the children. We understand It was
quite q sight TO witness the arrival and
departure of the carriages as they came
after the young people. 7
Thus passed off an occasion long to be
by the young folks present
and one We hope will be followed BY
others. Children so much enjoy parties
Of this kind that we wonder parents do
not oftener celebrate the birth day Of
their little ones in this manner. We Ger
tainly owe much to Capt. Cook and lady
and Mrs. Paige for this example to others
to make itpleassnt for the children-may
others follow their good example in this
We had the pleasure of witnessing the
of our old friend Willard T..
Davenport to Miss Matte Backers Of this
town in the Episcopal Church ON We'd
nesday last.
Mr.. Davenport was formerly Q resi-
dent of our town and won many friends
among us. and is now settled ss thriving
dentist in Milton VT. His bride is well
known among us, being the youngest
daughter of DR.. Charles BAckers.
We heartily congratulate friend Da-
venport on his happy start in life ic., lin
the matrimonial life, and unlcss the OPT.
Mon of his friends are wrong, assure him
that he has n treasure in his wife. Al
ready have We heard from one who has
seen him in his new home how nicely hs
is situated which the numerous friends Of
Mr. and Mrs. Davenport are much pleased
to hear. That he may succeed and be ~
happy M all now promises is the hearty
wish Of his old friend. =.
