That club with cabalistic name the
I" b. b. Gu which comprises a number
OF our gOOd-SiZed boys, launched their
new boat last week. AS they pushed the
noble craft into the raging Lamoille it
was promptly christened the Mink"

One of the most attractive as we'll as
neateSt farm houses hereabOutS is that
of Harlow Bliss. What care as well as
little paint can do is there very notice
able. The outlay of a few dollars each
year on many of our farmers residences
would greatly add to their general ap-
pearance as well as improve the value
thereof. We are glad to note that quite
a number of the farmers III this town
have, during the past few years, paid
considerable attention to their dwellings
and they now have pleasant and cheerful
looking houses. Still, there are others
that would be improved by little fixing
up.

DECORATION DAY.-DecOratio Day |
at North Hyde Park passed off very |
pleasantly. The day was all that could |
be desired, and it was evident at very
early hour that the good people of North
Hyde Park were bound to do all that
was possible to make the affair success.
At the proper hour the procession was
formed headed by the Hyde Park Band
followed by Aaron Keller Post, some
fifty strong, with Capt. MOnahan, the
orator of the day, the public and Sabbath
Schools and citizens generally, proceeded
to the cemetery where the beautiful @.
A. r. service took place and graves of
the soldier dead were decorated. The
procession was then reformed and
marched to the grove on the Welcome
Peck place where an ample dinner of
plenty for all was served and the
remaining exercises took place. After
music by the band and choir, prayer was
offered by Rev. e. w. West. and an
address given by Captain Monahan.
His remarks, which were attentively
listened to. were replete with good
things, the address being such that none
but a comrade ''WhO has been there
could deliver. 1t was indeed noble and
patriotic. Remarks were also made by
Revs. Ira Gray and E. w. West. and Col.
Sawyer, after which appropriate resolu-
tions were adopted. The recitation
by GRACE Allen and the poem by Mrs.
C. w, Blake were well received. The
music by the band was excellent and the
boys were the recipients Of much praise.
The singing by the choir all of the
pieces being fresh and appropriate
under the direction of Prof Ober was
heartily applauded. The song about
the old canteen, sung by the Prof, clio
tied a storm of applause. Altogether
1.-THE occasion was a most enjoyable one
