Edison Thomas has sold his four
year-old Dclong colt, "Lady Foxie,"
for the sum of 1926, to Henry Soper of
Middlebury. She gives promise of re-
markable speed.
The Ladies Aid Society are very
active and successful in obtaining funds
for the church interests, having pur-
chased an organ for each society. A
fine opera was lately given, and fair
for the purpose of fitting up a lecture
room at the east village. A concert
and dramatic entertainment are ex-
pected soon. A meeting for social song,
including supper, was held at the west
church last Wednesday evening. II
was largely attended.
The entertainment at the Methodist
church in West Salisbury, in the form
of union sing, was enjoyed very much
last Wednesday evening. The cxer-
cises were conducted by Mr.. T.. c.
Gibbs and DR.. o. NJ. Bump. Mr.. Frank
ID. Dcming, who was organist, was mas
ter of his position. The male auartettc
from Middlebury, whose singing is be-
ing admired so much of late, were pres
ent, and rendered several pieces admir-
ably, being loudly encored several
times. Hon. j. NJ. Dyer, after the enter
tainment, gave the club fine oyster sup
per in the genial manner in which he can
do such things, which was very prob
| ably enjoyed by the boys. The services
of Mr.. f. c.. Gibbs in our midst, as
teacher of our common school and sing
ing class, have been decidedly success
| full.
Feb. goth, the Ladies' Society at
West Salisbury held their annual ses-
sion. Mrs. Valley was elected presi-
dent in the place of Mrs. Henry Graves,
whose term of Office then expired.
Mrs. Graves proved herself very wor-
thy and efficient person in that capacity,
equal to all the emergencies and the
multitudinous perplexities and duties
which such an Office necessarily de-
wolves. Mrs. Wallace Doud held the
vice-presldcncy one year with much
credit TO herself and the society. Mrs.
Goodrich was elected vice president for
the ensuing year. A very pleasant re-
ception was given in the vestry of the
church, and large number participa-
ted in the festivities which the occasion
afforded. The ladies showed their
magnanimity in furnishing refresh
ments of superior kinds and qualities.
The congregation and choir of the vii
lage church were cordially invited to
partake of the generously given hospi-
taiities, and enjoy with the west choir
social sing, thus bringing the town
together cordially and tremendously
Mrs. Smith was present on the occasion,
and showed herself, as she always does,
an efficient md effective worker. She
is lady whose superior abilities and
tact can be surpassed by none. The la
dies have purchased an organ for divine
worship, and matters are working in
the right line. Much credit is due to
all the members of the society. Nav
success crown all their efforts.

John G. Perry, whose death is men,
toned in our list of obituary notices,
was born in Leicester, July %, 1894.
In 1921 he married Betsey Greenough,
in Milbury, Mass, and has resided in
Leicester since. He was man of
strong intellect and retained his facul-
ties to the time of his death. He has
represented the town in the legislature,
held the Office of town clerk, and many
other offices of trust, and has been great
ly respected by his townspeople. For
some time past he has spent the winters
with his daughter in New Haven, Conn,
returning in the spring. We have seen
his step grow more feeble with each re-
turning spring, and now at a ripe old
age, like sheaf of wheat he is gathered
home-has gone to his rest. The funer-
al services were held i'll the church in
Leicester, March l, DR.. Thomas, of
Brandon, officiating.

glad to see as capable men as Mr.. Hale enter

througout the Silver State, and to-day stands

Office as Deputy State Controller, we do not
hesitate to say that the Republicans of Ne
vada could not bestow the nomination for that
position upon more worthy and litter man,
and his nomination would be almost equiv
alent to an election. Lincoln comfy is justly
entitled to a position on the State ticket at
the coming election, as heretofore it has been
entirely ignored, and as this county can fur
nish as good timber to place in the Controllers
office as any other portion of the State, If not

London, Jan 15.-Up to midnight there
have been no conclusive reports as to the fate
of the armistice. 1t seems certain that the
Russians are making every possible effort to
reach Adrianople, i'll order that the terms of
peace may be discussed at that point The
feeling in England is one of great depression,
owing to the demand for terms which England
cannot submit to without disgrace. This feel
ing IS augmented by the preparation being
made by the Government to concentrate a
heavy force in the vicinity of the Turkish
capital Not only are all ships to and from
India being stopped at Malta, but prepare
tons are being made to send on without any
delay, all available soldiers from England and
either the English Ministry anticipates the
worst from the present condition of affairs, or
else movement is being made to frighten
Russia by the extent of the preparations for
war. These movements lead to the belief
that the Government is in possession of facts
which are of sinister significance.
