 We learn that Capt E F Gold is going to emigrate to Douglas Go, Oregon. We are all sorry to have Captain go, as he has done as much with the means he had to improve the village as any man in it, the long row of elms around the square he planted at his own expense 8 number of years ago and they add much to the beauty of the village.
 The excitement over the roads has died out and the roads are no better than they were before, the town pays all the way from ten to twenty-five dol lars a day for what little work is laid out on the roads and some of them are unsafe to drive over, either in the day or night. XYZ.

 SALISBURY.
 Seldom is this community so deeply moved, as in the death of H P Harris Jr, son of Col Harris one of our best known fellow citizens and ex-Gov Hub. bard's staff officer Born of an honored ancestry and cradled in the lap of luxu. ", possessed of more than ordinary in. telligence, he was destined, if life had been spared him, to occupy prominent position in society and shed lustel around the name of Harris. But Provi dence had otherwise decreed. At the early age of 16 consumption seized him for its victim and slowly but surely drew hin to the grave. He made profession O his faith in Christ, was baptised, par took of the communion, united witt the Congregational church and wa! translated from the church militant tt the church triumphant. On Tuesday | gathered at his late residence and afte, a prayer, the procession moved solemn ly to the congregational church where an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev l. H Reid, taking as founda tion of his remarks David's aff1iction il the death of his son. The church wa. well filled with representative men iron all parts of the town, protestant ani catholic, capitalist and laborer, profes sional and on-professional men mani fested by their presence their sympathy for the afflicted family. His remains were taken to our beautiful cemetery and laid away to rest till the morning O. the resurrection.

 We are perfectly jubilant over tht glorious result of the centennial. Great praise is due the members of Montgom cry lodge for their perseverance ant zeal in the great cause, especially is i due to Col H P Harris, H Williams, ] l. Norton, Capt Bates and E Winck worth. The procession was the fines and grandest ever seen in Lakeville comprising some sixty lodges and com manderies and nine bands of music One interesting feature of the occasion was the returning to the Montgomery lodge the original charter received by them in 1783, which had been lost since 1793. Special acknowledgement wal made of the efforts of Col H P Harri in recovering the charter. Among those present was Dr Elisha w Cleveland wht entered MOntoOmery lodge in 1913. Ht
