OuI NllldSS DldChSlHlluS are DuSlly
engaged in making lumber wagons
preparatory for the spring trade.
Frank Finnegan, who has been in
California the past four years, arrived
in town Tuesday, as hale and hearty
as ever.
VIM. G. Bundv has traded his So
acre farm with Edison Preston for his

main a year with her son Everett
Keller, of Eyota, MINI.
A new lumber wagon, shipped by H.
j. Lilley to parties in Wolcott last
week, was considerably demoralized by
being blown from the cars.
Mrs. A. p. Waterman, who has
been stopping with friends and rela-
tives for several weeks past, left We'd
nesday for Stanford, this State.
Four tenants in the cooler now
Walter Bedell and Little Ed. Billiard
having recently gone in to keep com
pany with Amber and cleveland.
One of Andrew Cowan's boys, Ned,
cut severe cash in his left foot while
chopping last week. The wound is a
bad one and does not improve very
rapidly.
Rev. f. w. West is in town for a
few days. He has finished his labors
at Cranberry Creek, n. Y, and goes
to Boyntonville the same State. His

Now that trains are once more run
ming quite regularly, and having been
presented with timetable by Con-
ductor Ranney, we publish it this
week for the benefit of our readers.
Mayor Pape has returned from I'm
derhill and is again located at Green
field. He has been elected Prudential
Committee of the district, and will see
that 100 days of schooling is given the
coming year.
Dominee Story undertook TO ride
bycicle the other day. The evolutions
he went through with would indicate
he had mistaken his calling. However
we think with a little training he
would make first-class acrobat.
Travelling is a little better than it
was last week-the freezing-up of Sun
day having made the roads quite pass
able. About the village it is nip and
tuck between sleighs and wagons,
with the preference slightly in favor
of the latter.
Attention is called to the dissolution
notice of the firm of Brigham & Wa
terman. This is probably the oldest
firm in the county, having been in ex-

stand both parties will continue the
law business separately at the old
stand.
A large number of young people
gave Geo. Cahill, pages stenograph-
cry a surprise last week, They as

surrender TO the fair sex. 1t was
genuine surprise.

A missionary society is to be formed
in connection with Union Sunday
school-the school having concluded
that the devoting of part of its
funds to objects outside of the school
would be a worthy enterprise. The
school is IN a iourishing condition.
Its doors are always open to all
interested in the study Of the gospel.
A very pleasant concert was that
given last week by the Morrisville
Cornet Band and Merrie Makers Or
chestra. Both the instrumental and
vocal music were of a high order. 1t
is seldom our people have the privi-
lege of attending such concert, and
had the roads been in half way passa-
BILE condition, there would have been
a full house. We hope they will again
visit us.
The indications now are that this
place will be supplied with a Congre-

appointed TO solicit the necessary
funds. II. NJ. Noyes, H. A. Bailey
