words of thanks. The company was
then invited to the table which had
been set up and made ready by the
ladies, in the apple orchard in front
of the house. Every one seemed to
enjoy the afternoon we'll, all in leav-
ing the happy home of Mr. and Mrs.
Perry wished them many more ami
versaries.
A suit brought by Catherine Stone
against Stillman H. Stone, abscond-
ing debtor, was held before Justice
Smalley at Brigham G McFarland's
office Tuesday. Brigham & McFar-
land for Plff. and Powers & Wilson for
Deft. The most interesting part of
the hearing was the logomachy be-
tween Brigham and Wilson. They
handled each other "without gloves
The Deft. was discharged from GUS
tody.
The question who shall be Repre-
sentative is now the prevailing topic,
and until the caucuses select their
candidates there will continue to be
mentioned the names of many worthy
citizens. On the Democratic side we
have heard the names of James g.
Crocker and Albert Whitcomb men
toned. Either of these gentlemen
would make a creditable representa-
tive should they be so fortunate as to
be elected. But as this is not to be,
there is not much concern as to who
will be the Democratic nominee. On
the Republican side those most promi-
nently mentioned are Geo. Mudgett,
S. w. Kinds, M. P. Cheney and Or
son Hadley-all men of good ability
and well qualified to represent us at
the State capital. Each has a goodly
following and will be strongly urged
for the position. Who will be the
fortunate man we cannot tell, but in
indications point to a large attend
ance at the caucus, and whoever re-
ceives the nomination we are sure
will find no stronger supporters than
those who competed with him for the
honor. Let all Republicans attend the
caucus and there give expression as to
who is mostly desired for the position.
