SALISBURY.

1t IS most too warm to spend much time racking ones brain If he has any) trying to make up an item for news paper in this dull, quiet town. There are few of our city cousins out loung- ing about under the shade, but they never get in the lookup, but always be- have themselves wisely and well, and such good people seldom furnish much in the way of news for the newspaper scribbler. The Maple Shade is expect ing large invoice for the summer trade this week. Lawn Cottage already has 8 family of six, and there are more to fol- low. Miss Johnston has one or more families, and all who will or care to have summer boarders, have their rooms all engaged; and why shouldn't every place be filled for there is not another town In seven states can compare with old Salisbury in natural beauty; noun tains, hills and valleys, lakes, rivers and mountain streams, make up every varie- ty of scenery to please the eye, and the air IS as pure as any mountain alr can be, one good, long, deep-drawn breath of which makes a new being of anyone accustomed to city air. The people are the best and the horses the fastest in the land, are in our livery stables, with the easy, rocking chair like canopy top carriages, and the livery man all smiles and accommodation, ever ready and will ing (for the dollars) to give you spin over the hills, or whirl around the lakes, or glide up the valleys and over the river in the Happy Land of Ga man." Ride up the side of the noun tains as far as you can. and then climb @r-% l. 4l>o L., ~.e old Lions Head, Ball Peak, Mt. Everett or an of the many mountain tops and look down and around, and if Switzer- land can boast of anything more grand or beautiful in the way of lovely land scape, let her boast-she is a regular old brag anyhow.
 Coming events cast their shadows before and straws tell which way the wind blows" The coming event whose shadow we see now is the meeting or reunion of the school teachers of Sails bury at Twin Lakes, July 2Sth. This reunion is under the auspices of the Teachers organization of this town. The present and past board of education and all persons ever having taught in the town of Salisbury are invited and expected to be present; of course I mean all that are alive, and none that are not, for this is no time for any that are not alive, for a lively time is expect ed. l remember two who taught my young ideas how to shoot who were quite lively and quite fond of the rod. All such should bring along their rods now, and go fishing. Don't forget the date July 2Sth, make your plans and ar range your business and be sure and be there and I will be responsible for good time.
