? E. S. Bryant, of Keene, n, H., with
three of his children, Eva E., Edith L..
(tWinS) and George E., are visiting rela-
tives in this town.
The boarders at The Elms visited Mt.
Mansfield the first of the week. They
had fine weather and clear atmosphere,
so that the views from the mountain
were very good.
We are unable to give the exact num-
Der of men in this town who voted for
. TippecanOe" and who intend to vote
for the grandson. There are lots of EN-,
however; almost every day some one
reminding us of this fact.
V. A. Gilmore was pleasantly sur
priSed last Saturday by a number of his
relatives and friends who gathered at
his home in honor of his Sind birthday.
OF course the occasion was most enjoy
able One-the best part of it, however,
being the success in surprising NOlney,
who knew nothing of the affair until
sent for He was the recipient of a
number of useful presents.
Every man of voting age should re-
member that it is his duty to see to it
for himself that his name lis on the
checklist. 1t is the duty of the town
officials to prepare and post list which
is correct according to their best know
! ledge and belief; after this it is the
duty of each voter to see that his name
is on the list. And not only should new
voters in town see to this, but every old
voter should see that his name has not
been omitted by mistake.

THE RALLY AT NORTH HYDE PARK
The flag raising and rally at North Hyde
Park Saturday evening last was most
complete success. There was a large
turnout of patriotic citizens from this
and djOining townsville number pres
ent being estimated at from 800 to 900,
nearer the latter we think. Both the
johnson and Hyde Park bands were in
attendance. The ceremony of raising
the flag was very beautiful. A process
sion was formed headed by the two bands
following which came two little girls
bearing banner ON which was inscrib
ed Protection" Then came a dozen
young ladies bearing the flag unfOlded.
These were followed by large number
of tOrch-bearers. Reaching the poles on
which the flag was to be suspended,
amid hurrahs and the playing of the
bands, the flag was lifted without a
wrinkle or flutter until it reached its
place in the air. The scene was a most
beautiful one and our neighbOrS take
the lead on successful tlag-raiSing. Pro-
ceSSiOn again reformed and marched to
grass plot on which had been erected a
platform which was taStefully decorated
with Chinese lanterns, pictures of the
Presidential candidates., notices, &c.
Here, while the audience was being
seated, the tOTch-bearers marched
around the ground and escorted the
speakers to the stand. Without any
preliminary remarks the manager, d. G.
Smith, introduced the first speaker, r.
w. Hulburd of this place, who gave an
interesting address the principal part of
which was concerning the tariff.
He very forcibly pointed out to his hear
ers the lamentable effect free trade
would have on this country were it
adopted. He was followed by Ii. S.
Wilson, Esq, of MOrrisville, who also
spoke on the tariff question. He also
alluded to the position taken by the Pro-
hibitionists in the present campaign,
showing how the Republican party
favored and aided in making prohibit
tory laws in the several states. The
exercises concluded with remarks by
Hon. r. G. Cristy, of johnson. AT the
conclusion of the exercises light refresh
mentS were furnished the bands and
speakers by the ladies. Altogether, it
was a grand success and the Republi-
cans of North Hyde Park have reason to
feel proud of their effort.
