EAST HUBBARDToN.
WhoopiDg cough is now prevalent 10
some extent among us. Mr.. Fay's infant
child is dangerously sick with it. This dis
ease has prevailed in town during the last
winter, and some claim that they have had
it the second time.
Flowing and sowing are now in order.
Farmers on every hand have begun their
springs work. And let me say, plant your
potatoes early and plant early varieties. BY
doing go, you stand better chance OF es-
Gaping the ravages of the potato beetle.
Wages now follow the footsteps of gold,
and are stepping down. Teachers are will
ing to engage at lower terms than formerly |;
and this is right. Gold has come down,
wages have and must come down.
Now is the time to prepare for winter.
Young men who tramp about the country
can find employment on farms; II not for
wages, let them take land and till 1t on
shares. A young man who is willing to
work can raise q crop and make paying
wages. There is land enough to support
all the people. And those that can work
have no excuse for idleness.
How beautiful is expectsnt nature /;
waiting, waiting for genial suns and gentle
showers. Embedded in ito bosom are the
riches that will crown the advancing sea-
son and adorn the face Of the earth.

Monday evening April IL, the friends of
Rev. T.. @. Dayfoot and daughter called at
the Baptist parsonage where they were
greeted by him in surprised though eor-
dial manner. Miss Dayfoot not expecting
company, was absent at the house of a
friend whom the skirmishers arrived, but
soon returned. The time was pleasantly
occupied with vocal and instrumental mus
ic, innocent amusements to please the young
and make the older ones feel young again.
Rev. G. A. Stevens, Methodist, made an
appropriate speech aud presented Miss
Carrie Dsyfoot with eleven dollars, a sub
stantial testimonial of friendship with re-
quest that she would purchase something
