The Memorial program announced
last week was very successfully car
ried out last Monday. A larger crowd
was present than has appeared on a
similar occasion for many years, and
the procession as composed by the G.
A. RS. the Sons of Veterans, the
Knights of Pythias, the Select knights
and citizens, was quite imposing.
A very general war is being waged
by those who are so unfortunate as to
have maple shade trees, against the
maple moth and it il to be hoped it will
succeed in delivering us from the an
nual plague. The best recipe we know
however, for getting rid of maple
worms is to cut down the trees, and
supply their places with other varieties.
A pleasant party at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. s. l.. Rand, on Monday
evening, in hono- of their sister, Miss
Minnie w. Pierce, was one of the social
events of the week. Mr.. and Mrs.

From "Pencil's" remarks and from
the nature of the notice we publish
this week by request of J. ID. Moore
and Others, it looks as though Moran
was gOipg to have q celebration this

We must again call the attention of
our correspondents to the necessity Of
writing proper names plainly. 1t
doesn't make 80 much difference about
the rest of the letter, for an OCCASION
al word may be guessed at by the con-
text. But the connection Is of no as
sistance in decyphering proper names.
If the name is at all uncommon the SAT-
est way is to print it.
For the remainder of the summer
whenever 1t is possible for them to do
so, the band boys will play in the park
every Saturday afternoon between
three and four O'Clock; and if they
cannot get out at that time they will
play in the evening without fail. We
speak thus definitely in order that
those out of town who would like to
hear the music may know just what to
count on.

On last Saturday an unusually large |

packages Of goods wrapped in paper |
with q blue stripe across it. The wri-
