Murty Pecor wants We should apollo
gize for that new dance hall item last
week, or, as he says, "take him Oft the
paper" lie says he wasn't the man
ager, and we give him the benefit of
the statement. The item was all right,
we cast no slur upon the dance or those
who took part in it in fact we thought
we were doing good thing for the
party, but there is such thing as
"goodness wounding ITSELF" and this
is case in point Some of the party
got "dreftI mad" about it, and 1t
friend informs us that another youth
says if we put any more about South
street son the paper" he will call on
us. We shall continue to publish legit-
innate ncws-that's what we are here
ior-and if he visits our santum, and
shows any signs of fight, he'll 60 out

Hon. Frederick Billings furnished
everything for the John Macanley
funeral, casket, coaches, etc, and II
special car to carry the remains to
White River Junction for burial ust
like him. John was long in Mr.. Bill
ings' employ.
We took in the family and enjoyed Il
pleasant ride over Plymouth hills to
the "Union," Saturday. 1t was a
hot day, aud when the sun poured
down pel-me in the dell, we thought
if the crazy Hamlet was in our place,
he would have 10 need to cry out, so,
that this too solid flesh would melt, y
although we were well guarded against
it. We reached our friend Wilder'S,
where we found cool, clean house
and Il good dinner, to which we did
ample Justice. Mr.. Wilder keeps
first-class hotel, and the man who says
he over did or ever will sell rum for a
living is no better than u liar and a
horse thief. We viewed the scenery
here for couple of hours, which is
very fne-cqual to any in the White
Mountains. Through the courtesy OF
l.. b. Moore, the principal merchant
of the place, who keeps tame bear,
we witnessed an exhibition of the ami
nal in climbing trees, ETC., which in
tcrested us greatiy-especially the boy.
A ride over to Wildcr's will pay you,
for, us some writer says, sour best
things lie nearest our feet" and we
believe it.

sol should think it would kill him."
b says to friend, 1T beats all how
A lives, he drinks So You tell either
of them they had better stop drinking,
and it would have about as much ef-
feet on them as lecture in moral
philosophy would on tramp.
