The East Arlington Brass Band, on
its return from the 5, S. picnic at Shu-
shan on Friday last, favored us with
some very nice music, for which they
will please accept our thanks. They
play nicely, and bid fair to attain cee-
brity in this line. We wish them all
success.
TO say that the place to buy your
marble or granite monuments, &c, is at
Eaton's marble works, is putting il any
thing but strong. They are turning out
some very nice work now, We under
stand they have orders ahead for several
expensive monuments, and are driven all
the time. People are not long in finding
out where they can do the best, which
accounts for the above. They are well
known in this county, having been in the
business for years here. Surely honesty
is the best policy. We advise all who
need anything in their line, from paper
weight to monument up among the
figures, to 60 to Eaton's. They pay
prompt attention to all orders and guar
antee satisfaction. A word to the wise,

We notice two very nice stones at the
graves of Joseph Snow and wife (from
the shop Of the wen known "Eaton mar.
bic works'), placed there by their son, j.
W Snow. They are neat, pretty marks,
fit representatives OF the dear ones gone
before. The graves have been graded
up, and the lot is now one of the incest
in the yard. Much credit is due Mr.. J.
W, Snow for this last kindness. May it
prove lesson to others. Remember the
loved ones.

We have certain class of people
