Because tho moon shines brigh
evenings and lights us on our way
let us not forget that dark nights
will come, when we shall need stree,
lamps If we would avoid collisions,
pitfalls, trees and hitch posts.
The Bradford Brass Band will
give a promenade concert and dance
in Town Hall, on Thanksgiving
(Thursday) evening, Nov. 20. AR
rangemcnts are being made for a
good time.
MIR, f. Benson has take the
rooms in the rear Of Mr.. G. s. Stev.
ems store and is prepared to make
boots and shoes to order, or do re-
pairing promptly and neatly.
1t will be seen by advertise
mcnt in t0-day's paper that Mrs.
Andross is intending to close out
all the goods in her store before
January next. In order to do so
she will give wonderful bargains.
Mrs. j. Fl. Robinson, who has
resided in this village for 20 years,
was never in a railroad car until
last week, when she went to visit
her son-in-law, Mr.. q. II. Y. Will
liams of Franklin, N. I'll. She had
been at the depot only once before.
On Friday last, as Mrs. G. b.
Peters and Mrs, John Corliss were
sitting in a wagon at the depot, the
horse was frightened by n passing
engine, and turning short around
threw both ladies from the carriage,
but fortunately without seriously
injuring either.
The little old, dirty, tumble
down shanty recently occupied by
Ephraim and Hannah Martin near
Mr.. Ed. Bliss, was destroyed by
fire on Friday night. 1t was I'M
doubtedly the work of an incendia-
ry, but there has not been any siren
uous exertions made to find the fire.

The meeting of the Lyceum
next Friday evening promises to be
of unusual interest. The question
is ono about which many arguments
can be produced on both sides.
The Glee Club will sing some choice
pieces. while the paper will be rich
and spicy.
MIR. L. w. Dickey, at the 90
cent store, has a large and fine as.
sortment of useful and fancy arti-
Giles, many of which he offers at half
the price at which they are usually
retailed, and all are sold much be-
low retail prices. 1t will cost yOu
nothing to take look at them, I'M
less you buy, and if you do that,
you get double your moneys worth
The town clock, donated by
Mr.. =. p. Corliss, is now in position
inthc new church tower and proves
to be an excellent tine-kecper. 1t
was much needed and no donation
more acceptableto the citizens could
have been made. 1t would seem
fitting that the citizens of Bradford
should express in some public man
ner their appreciation of the val
liable gift. Mr.. Corliss started for
his home in Memphis, Tenn, on
Wednesday,, carrying with him the
best wishes of his many friends that
he may be successful, pro sperous
and happy.
MIR. Geo. Jenkins is greatly i'm
proving the appearance of his mar
BILE works by raising the building
some four feet, and otherwise fixing
it up. George says he amt going
to be buried up just yet, if he is in
the gravestone business. Andrew
is there with his kit of tools, con
sisting of two inch augur and a
handsaw, working day after day on
the same stick of timber apparent
ly. Nevertheless he is making com.
progress and will prob a.
bly, get the work done in season for
"wetting" about Thanksgiving time,
when, of course, George will invite
the lawyers, doctors, ministers, prin-
ters and other big-bugs to be pres
ent.
