YESTERDAY

w. S. Charles, of Bangor, was in town
yesterday.
A very pleasant surprise was given
Mr.. and Mrs. David Woodman last
evening, by the members of the Christ
ian church and other friends pouring
into their pleasant home on east Main
street. Armed with lunch baskets,
the besiegers took possession of the
house, and royal good time was had.
The necessary amount of money has
been raised for the purchase of flag
for the school building. The TRUE
NoRTHERNER is much pleased that its
offer has been accepted, and suggestion
acted upon. There will, we understand,
be some exercises of public and inter
esting character at the raising of ''otd
gtOry."
Duncan Clarks Monster Combination
turned people away at the opera house
last night. The novelty of this com
pany is sure of crowded houses. The
audience was wild with delight and
gave all the artists big reception. The
business will be the banner of the sea
son at this house Commercial, Ciere-

The Knights Templar parade, which
took place in Washington, few days
since, is said to have Deen magnificent
and imposing spectacle The weather
was delightful, and the fifteen thousand
brilliantly uniformed Knights marched
TO the music of eighty-four brass bands
Several Van Buren, County Knights
participated in the parade.
1t will be remembered that reference
was made i'm these columns, some time
since, To the case of Horace Sebring of

The governor has appointed Mr.. +.
A. Wildey member of the farmers
conference which assemblies at Mont
gomery, Ala, Nov. 18th. No better Sc
lection could, in our opinion, have been
made. Mr. Wildey is recognized as
being one of our most intelligent, pro-
gressive and practical farmers While
the position is wholly honorary, there
being no pay or emoluments in con
nection Herewith, we are confident
Mr. Wildey will feel amply repaid in
the means of observation which il af

Duncan Clarks Monster Combination
opened to big house at the Palace
Family Theater last night, considering
the very cold weather, and everyone
was well paid for turning out. The
show is out of the common rut of female
mnstrels, being organized to cater to
lady audiences. Nothing was said or
done to offend the most fastidious. Any
one who can attend the opera or the
Kiralfy productions need not hesitate To
see this company, and they are sure of
large audiences during their short en-
gagement here. - MilUdukee Sentinel,

prosper.
We have Somewhere read something
about stranger within our gates being
taken in, etc. A stranger came within
our gates and took in" the people last
week. 1t was the old story of those
who expect to get something for moth
ing. Two of our county officials con
testing with each other as to which
should get the first package offered for
sale. The race was decided in one
heat, Charlie taking first, Nc. second.
Numerous articles of cast iron cutlery
sold at 81. Worth % cents. Silver
knives and forks worth absolutely
nothing found ready purchasers at 81:
Had these same articles been offered
| by our merchants at one half the prices
paid to the stranger, we doubt if they
would have found ready sale. But
then, it is nobody's business, and we
only mention it as illustrating the lib
