lage, the afternoon and evening OF Saturday next,

zens without regard to previous condition Of in
terest, Ignorance or Indifference In respect TO

subjects OF discussion with hints and suggestions
Of their own. Mr.. DARTS address In the evening
will be Of special interest to the community in
general and he should have large audience. e..
Superintendent Wright has arranged for an exhi-
billion Of prize speaking in this town in which all
| the schools will participate, at the close OF the
winter session, In about three weeks. The exact
| date Of the exhibition has not yet been fixed.
The competitors selected for the first district are
from the high school, Jessie Ashley and Dan
| Richardson; from the intermediate, Eta Straw
and Forest Pickett. The idea Ia good one and
is the subject Of much interest among the schools
The village school will celebrate the close Of the
winter term with public exercises and levee in
the evening Mr. and Mrs. David Hopkins re-
move this week to the CENTER this step being
Mrs Hopkins parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lemuel

village, and, In the closer acquaintance thus OBJ.
tained, the esteem in which they are held has

The Congregational society Is contemplating
the purchase Of q new organ A larger and more
powerful instrument is greatly to be desired and
can certainly be afforded by this prosperous So
ciety. The project for obtaining the new nstru-
ment ia in the hands OF the Ladies' Aid Society
and that is an ample guarantee that 1t will sue
coed. How fine the new instrument shall be
depends very largely on the generosity OF the
members Of the society. "what is worth doing
at all is worth doing ,oeH," and in this instance
the bit OF practical wisdom embodied in this
maxim is particularly applicable, as purchases OF
this kind have ixedness that does not apply to
other articles Of church furnishing. The better
the instrument the better will be the degree Of
satisfaction with the musical part OF the Sunday
service generous expenditure in this direction
will not be the source OF regret In the future,
while nggardy one surely will be-. ...A penny
collection for Sunday-school purposes has been
taken up In the Congregational society for several
weeks past with very gratifying results. .....
