John G.. Martin was sent last Thurs
day, to the Soldiers Home at Togas,
Maine, where it is expected he will

eccentric character and his droll re-
marks and quaint sayings which have

An exchange says that a perfect
town for business is that in which you
see the farmers patronizing their home
merchants, laborers spending the
money they earn with their own
tradesmen, and all animated by a
spirit that will not purchase any of
the needed articles abroad if they can
be procured at home. That reciprocity
between business men and mel chants,
tradesmen and laborers, results in
every instance in making the town a
perfect one to do business in.

Heman Waterman of johnson was
in town one day last week, and after
transacting some business went to the
depot to take the train for Morrisvile.
When he reached the depot he found
a train just leaving. Sam Clark told
him to hurry up as it was his train.
''Heme" started at lively gait and
2 finally '!caught on" just as the train
was passing under the dry bridge.
He gave parting salute and went in
to wipe off his brow. But he was
considerably taken back to see his
train reverse motion and slowly move
back to the depot, where, after water
