NJ. Il. Davis has just resolved hi
newgoods. Call and see them.
The pond was free from ice last
Monday, aboatten days earlier than

This is a good time TO clean o1t your
cisterns, springs and wells aaa TO make
sure that the house drIinlge Is all

RARA AvIs.-Mr. Adna Smith brings
us an hens egg, the like OF which is
seldom seen. 1t is a very large one,
measuring 9x7 inches, and inside OF
it is another ordinary sized egg with
shell all complete.
The first OF May was ushered in by a
heavy snow storm. Six years ago on
the above mentioned date the snow
was two feet deep and the snow plough
had to be attached to various trains
leaving this station.
An impromptu dance was organized
last Tuesday night at the Island Pond
House, and the affair was in every re-
spect successful, better satisfied
company seldom being equalled.
,Bigelow's band furnished the music.
Mrs. T. s. Hall, was the happy re.
cipient of bouncing girl last Tuesday
all well-particularly Tommy, who
is in high glee. The peanuts and
cigars will cost him a heavy sum, but
Tommy will "set them on" in abun-
dance, regardless of the hard times.
Among the city people who avail
themselves of the inducements Island
Pond offers as q summer resort, Col.
Shaw and wife, of Chicago, are among
the most regular visitors. We are
glad to again note their arrival here
for the season, it being at an earlier
period than ever before.
The Board of Schoo; Directors have
directed their clerk, D. s. St0rrs, to
secure a site for the new school house
they purpose erecting on the south
side of Clyde river, to replace the old
school house which the children on
that side of the river have entirely out
grown. Mr.. Storrs has purchased an
half acre of land from Horace Stewart
for the above purpose, situated on the
corner of the Fennessy field, opposite
d. c. Foss' house. Price paid $175.
The Grand Trunk Railway Com
pany is at present doing an immense
business. The traffic is sufficient to
justify an increase of the rolling stock
to the extent Of 25 or 80 per cent.
Hundreds of new freight cars have re-
Gently been added to the line and we
understand that IS or 90 heavy loco
motives have been under construction
in the shops during the past few
months. The passenger service has
assumed much larger proportions since
the Chicago link was completed
SPRING NovELTIEs.-G is the
display of Millinery Goods at Mrs. N.
i. Nason's. 1t is the finest ever made
here. The Donnets and hats are as at
tractive and gay as the gayest, and
tony as the toniest could wish. Mrs.
N. has bonnets, and hats of all sorts,
sizes, designs and shapes, for blondes
and brunettes, for grave and gay, and
young and old. The ribbons, trim
innings, notions and nicknacks of all
kinds and descriptions pertaining to
the Millinery department of lady's
make up is very complete. Call and
see them.
1t is with feelings Of deep regret that
We have to announce the contem-
plated departure of Mr.. g. w. Noyes
and family to Battle Creek, Mich,
where MIR. Noyes will have charge of
iarge repair shops in the interests of
the Grand Trunk Railway Company.
In losing Mr.. Noyes, our town loses a
very faithful and popular man, one,
who while looking after the company's
interests here was always ready to lend
a helping hand to anything that tend
ed to promote the best welfare of
Island Pond. Many permanent i'm
provements in this place are due to
his energy and skill his last and best
effort, our village aqueduct, being of
inestimable value.
CoALINE. This is On excellent ar
ticle, and some of our people believe
that it cannot have too much pub
licity. 1t is supposed to be for sale
only by Messrs. Clarke Bros, but last
Saturday we saw ourfriend Houghton
parading the streets with large pla-
card attached to his back bearing the
following inscription:
COALINE -
HE GRE TAT CLEAN sER
FOR SALE II z RE.
He evidently was not aware that he
had been made walking advertise
ment, until agust of wind blew the card
on to his shoulder, and, well we left
just then, but his language was more
fOrcibie than polite.
