During the thunder storm Tues

trees were blown down, by the heavy
wind which accompanied it, in the
vicinity Of Bidleman's.
We received an anonymous COM
munication from Peck mailed at En-

consigned the same to the waste basket
which is wide and deep.
We should like to see everyone
take an interest in the decorating of
their places of business thereby MAX

Our helper, Dave Menerey. is laid
up and we have secured the services

The dangerous practice of firing
| tirecrackers on our Main street should
be stopped. This innocent sport might
culminate in the loss of thousands of

facts concerning the county OF Ma

enterprise on the part of the publisher.
1t is said that by The following
simple method almost instant relief of
earache is afforded: Put five drops of
chloroferm on little cotton or wool

the vapor through the stem into the
aching ear.
And now the maple trees are at
tackled by those deadly slugs that wrap
themselves in cotton batting (or words
to that effect) and bore away until the
tree is dead, Take look at the limbs
of your naples and see if the pestilen-
tial insects are in them.

The ice cream sociable given in
Duties Hall on Friday evening last
under the auspices of the Ladies Aid
Society of the II. u, church for the
benefit of Rev J. w. Gray was a sue
cess IN every way. The singing, speak
ing, recltations and ice cream were all
excellent. Everybody present enjoyed
very sociable time. On account of
too much ice cream and other eatables
being made another social was held in
the same place on Saturday evening
when pleasant time. was had. Net
proceeds of both evenings Ss25.50.
An incident happened in our town
last week which shows plainly what
some men think newspaper ought to
do. 1t is in consequence of a horse
race. One of the men who took part
in the race with his horse. and whose
horse won, was heard to remark, ''Pll
bet that editor won't have a word in
the paper about the race. but If the
other party had won lac would have a
half column" OF course on hearing
this we said nothing. This same par
ty who thinks the paper ought to give
him half column about petit horse
race, does not take the EXPosIToR; F;
but expects half column puff from it,
never dreaming that the man who is
pushing the quill has to live and this
is his means by which he gets his daily
bread. Verify. verify the path of a
newspaper man is rugged.
