literally to aid the sufferers giving

assistance was all done privately no
record of their generosity can be
made.
Building Notes.
Many of the property owners are
still meditating whether to rebuild
or not and some have not the means
even If they wanted to build. The
buildings erected above the old Eagle
hotel will be set back from the street
in line with Dr. Ayers house.-Mrs.
Woodward and Abel Hartshorn now
talk of building business block on
the Eagle hotel site.-Dole Brothers
will rebuild their store on the old site
but further back from the street.
Your correspondent learns that E. S.
Pierce is looking for lumber and re-
CARDS this as a sure sign that the
hardware store will be rebuilt.-The
Grand Army and Masons have sew
eralplans proposed by different mem
bers, one of which is to build on the
site of the old Grand Army hall and
occupy the block together with pos
sibly stores on the lower floor.-The
ladies library will be rebuilt, but
probably not on the old site. DR..
Aver has made a most generous offer
to them and they are likely to accept
it and build elsewhere.-Dr. J. M.
Aver will rebuild his office and the
dwelling houses of Mrs. Julia A. West
and Henry Peck will be rebuilt
nj O. n IL. E
ing on the old site which is owned by
Judge Palmer.

RUM FOR THE AFRICANS.

The 18th anniversary of the Amer
lean Baptist missionary union was
celebrated in Boston last week, and
in the course of the meeting Rev. Dr.
]. T Beckley presented the report on
African missions. In his address he
took occasion to denOunce the Med
ford distillery which has made a con-
tract through an English house to
supply 5000 gallons of rum day for
seven years to that region. Where
the missionaries are now able, to
save one, the rum traffic works for
the destruction of hundred"
When the original proprietor of the
distillery died it was understood in
the neighbOrhood that his will pro-
vided for the closing up of the facto-
~. But the evil that men do lives
after them and his wealthy success
sor still makes rum at Medford, and
of so poor a quality that there is no
market for it in the United States 1t
is not an unusual occurrence for the
same ship to carry to the dark con-
tinent made darker by the nefari-
Gus liquor trafflc-a load of Medford
rum and a missionary, literal mix
ture of rum and religion. Constitu-
tional prohibition would have wiped
this plague spot from Massachusetts,
but the people have recently rejected
that by large majority.
The following resolution was of
fered by Rev. DIR. \. J. Gordon of
Boston at the close of DR.. Becklev's
address:
The American Baptist Missionary
Union now in session in Boston, hav-
ing been informed that one distillery
In the neighborhood of this Puritan
city has a contract to furnish 5000
gallons of rum per day for seven
years to the Congo valley-the seat
of our African mission-hereby ex-
presses its unspeakable detestation
of this transaction and its condern-
nation of the whole liquor traffic,
both in heather and Christian coun-
tries.
Next to the African slave trade
there is nothing worse than the Afri-
can rum trade.

The Town Hall Question.
A town meeting has been called in
the academy at O'Clock next Satur-
day afternoon to see about building
a Town hall. The insurance of $500
is a nucleus for a good building but
there is a diversity of opinion as to
the size and site of the building,
though the feeling here is unanimous
against removing it from the Green"
The proposition to build stores on
the first floor, to be rented by the
town, will meet with strong oppo-
sition and the sentiment seems to be
prevalent that small and convenient
building to be used strictly for town
purposes is all that is needed. Let
every voter come to the meeting.
To the Vfctors Belong the SpoiIs
With temporary post office in the
lower end of the Elm house the ques-
ton of who will be postmaster is not
debated very much. If the office goes
to the one who has obtained the
most signatures then Charles B. Dole
of Dole Brothers will be the next
postmaster. Nelson A. Dole of the
firm of Dole & Currier has a petition
with a number of signatures. Lewis
W. Fisher is also a candidate but his
petition has few signatures. If either
of the Doles get the office it will be
run in connection with the stores
which the firms they are connected
with are to build With the South
