PARIs-In answer TO the call In the last
issue of the DEMOCRAT for meeting for
the purpose OF doing something for the
benefit OF the Academy building, an infor-
NAL meeting was held last Saturday even
ing. Owing TO the storm the attendance
was small. A deep interest was felt aud
work was plsned for the winter, aud the
necessary Committees were chosen.
In the arst place the meeting formed 4
permanent organization, and made choice
OF the following officers: II. f. Ham
mond, President; J. X. Hammond, Treas
urer, and Edgar +. Giles, Secretary.
AFTER some discussion, 1t was thought that
by lectures and entertainments, funds could
be raised for this object. And on this sug-
gestion the following committees were
appointed: On lectures-Messrs. Jas. s.
Wright, j. +. Stanley, o. A. Thayer. On
entertainments-S. X. Carter, chairman;
w. b. Edwards, II. f. Larrabee, Mrs. ..
A. Thayer, Mrs. j. S. Wright, Misses Ag-
gle Brown, JEANNE Hubbard, Georgia Per-
ham, Rose Giles, Auna Rswson and Mary
Mellcn. This general committee was
chosen to take charge of the entertainments
during the winter, and to appoint other
committees they may find necessary. 1t Is
desired that this committee meet without
further notice next Wednesday evening at
4: 80 O'Clock, at the post-office.. A letter
was received from Hon. Geo. F. Emery,
stating he had noticed an article in the
DEMOCRAT referring TO the Acandemy
meeting, and that he felt deep interest
in 1t. He offered his services to help the
cause along, by delivering lecture or in
any other way in which they could be made
available. If the interest OF one living so
far from Paris is thus aroused, 1t would
seem as II all Of our citizens ought to be
interested in repairing what Is now an
eyesore to our beautiful village.
The Universalist circle will meet with
Mrs. Perham, on Thursday evening, Dec.
I. All are cordially invited. -

deeply interested and remarkably well In
formed. The spring alluded to Is on the

busy filing orders for the water and ship
ping 1t to Boston. The demand Is so
great that he has erected commodious
