Rev. @. NJ, Cady, a former pastor OF
= the Baptist church at North Bennington
was in town last week with his wife on
a visit to Burr Niles family and other
friends.
: The monotony of daily life at the Cen
ter was broken Saturday by the running
away of Mark Hulett's horse who went
at a 2:40 gait with loaded wagon until
he reached home. No damage done al
though horse and wagon plunged thro
Mr.. H. g bars in the hurry to get into the
yard.
Mrs. OliD Huntington has recovered
from her late attack of sickness, but con.
tinues in feeble health.
.. A full attendance OF the members OF
the Baptist Church is earnestly desired
at the covenant" and business meeting
= Saturday next, at $3.50 p. m.
Religious services will be held in the
Rhode Island" school house North
SALISBURY, next Sunday at p. M, in-
stead of at the depot. which is now re-
ceiving the attention of painters. The
community in that part of of the town
feel grateful to Supt. Bennett for the use
of the passenger rooms in the depot for
several Sabbath past.
David Wheelnck was riding out once
or twice last week, and is looking some.
what improved in health. Mrs. William
Harrington and Mrs. Clark Stone have
also taken advantage of the fine weather
to visit friends in different localities.
The district schools taught respective
~ by Miss Mercy Niles and Miss Clara
Bottum, will unite in having picnic on
Friday next in LOOMS woods. These
young ladies have given full satisfaction
to the community in which each taught
and we wish them and their pupils and
invited guests very pleasant time at the
picnic.
During recent trip to White Creek
we heard Miss Ada Tabor and Miss Anna
Rogers, teachers in that vicinity, warm
ly commended for the thorough and
kindly discharge of their professional
duties. Their friends in SALISBURY will
be pleased TO learn of the high esteem in
which these ladies are held as teachers.
Miss Helen Dyer, whose management
of the district school in the Lane" die
trict, North SALISBURY, has won the
praise OF children and parents alike,
closes the present term with literary ex-I
ercises on Friday Of this week, and a
school picnic on the next day in Perkins
grove. That district is one Astounding in
soclable folks, and beyond doubt should
the day be pleasant, the picnic WILDE an
enjoyable occasion.
Miss Bertha Corey, teacher in Otis
Howard's district, and Miss Hattie Buck
teacher in the Rhode Island" district,
according to all accounts are doing ex-
cellent work, and we congratulate them
on their success.
1t is probable that the number of pupils
attending the North Bennington graded
school from Salisbury will be increased
next fall las there is demand for more
advanced course than our common
schools are. expected or required to give.
1t is inconvenient for pupils residing
back from the railroad to attend either
at Bennington or North Bennington, and
it strikes us that private school taught
by competent teacher at the "Center"
would meet Il demand that cannot 9TH
erwIse be filled except at great incon-
venence.
The meeting OF the Mite society last
Wednesday passed off very iagreeably
to all present. Plans are making by the
society to hold fair for church purposes
sometime next fall or winter.
Sunday evening the temperature fell
until light Overcoats or warm shawls
would have been quite comfortable to
the gentlemen and ladies who usually
take such times for q drive instead Of
attending church services.
No one better appreciates good din
ner when away from home than a
newspaper man" We recently heard
one of that fraternity expressing in Ian
guage that would require italics and
capital letters if in print, his high opin-
ion Of a dinner enjoyed in the hospitable
home of two White Creek misses last
week who are equally capable of pre-
pairing meal in the kitchen and enter
tanning company in the parlor. We sup.
press names, lest the bright, Smart"
girls referred to should frequently find
their cottage overrnn with gentlemen
callers about dinner times.
Vanilla candy is quite scarce lately.
When will our little friend, Miss Mol
lie" B. again commence the manutac-
ture?
A number of our farmers have finished
haying, and glad enough are they too
that the work is done.
A field of corn on the farm of Olin
Huntington, in the west part of the
town, is far ahead in growth and luxur-
liant appearance of any other that we
have noticed west of the Center. Crops
generally look well throughout the town.
Plaster is scarce, and at eventide when
the sun is low and the chirp of the crick-
ct is dying away, a number of sad-eyed
individuals may be seen Hopping the
festive potato beetle from the vines into
tin pan preparatory to cremation with
kerosene.
Politics rather quiet. Very little is
tematic work by any Of the three par
ties.
