One OF the largest annual meet
ings of the stockholders of the Con.

Railroad was held Mt tho Memphre'
magog House. Sept. LIST. RumOrs,
for many weeks past, have been 60
ing the rounds that there would be
a row at the annual meeting; that
certain members Of the Board OF
Directors would retire in disgust,
and other matters not altogether
harmonious between President Ray
mOnd, the Board of Directors and
George A. Merrill, the Superinten'
dent, whose lpsignatian took place
Sept. LIST. At 2 o'clock the meet
ing was called to order by the Pres
ident. After the reading Of the
call, Mr.. Raymond stated that he
had no report to make to the stock
holders, and charged three mem
bers of the Board Of Directors with
forming "a ring" to take the con.
troll of the road from him, which
was virtually done from December,
1874, to July, 1879. After further
remarks. in which lie handled his
past and most faithful Superinten
dent without gloves, Mr.. Raymond
gave the resume of receipts and OK
pcnditures for the past year: Gross
receipts. SGS4,3l9.35; expenses.
$457 ,474SS; ner earnings, 1926,
1920. Mr.. Raymond stated that
these figures were, as he thought.
incorrect, inasmuch as he had dis.
covered some discrepancies in the
wood accounts. Mr.. Kingsley OF
Boston wanted an adjournment OF
two months so that a report might
be prepared, but the motion was
largely defeated. Mr.. Raymond full.
ly explained the differences which
existed with certain members of the
Board, and the troubles with his
Superintendent.
A vote for Directors was taken,
resulting as follows:

about the lease of the Southeastern

to form an opposing route to Mon.

WE CAN MAKE HOME HAPPY.

Though we may not change the cottage
For mansion tall and grand,
Or exchange the little grass plat
For honpdless stretch of land;
Vet there's something brighter, dearer
Than the wealth we'd thus command
Though we have no means to purchase
Costly pictures rich and rare;
Though we have no silken hangings
For the walls so cold and bare
Wa can hang them Ger with garlands,
For flowers bloom everywhere.
We can always make home cheerful,
# the right course we begin;
We can make its inmates happy, l.s4
And theiy truest blessings win.
II will make the small room brighter,
Il will let the sunshine in.
We can gather round the fireside,
when the evening hours are long:
We can blend our hearts and voices
In q happy social song; .,
We eau guide some errlne p'o JILL,
Lead him from the pain OF "fons'
We can fiji our homes with music,
And With sunshine trimming DER,
If against the dark intrude5s
We will firmly close the door;
Yet. should evil shadows enIer,
We must love each other more.
