quite an Industry Has utfclOptu hcis
this season, in the securing and shipping

Randolph has two institutions of learn
ing of which we may be well proud, for
they are a blessing to mankind and an
honor to the town. They are the State
Normal, whose charter has been extend
ed until 1900, and the West Randolph
Graded School. RANDOLPH 5. SUPT.
The lecture Course closed Friday night
with a lecture on "American Citizen
ship by Chaplain Foster of Conn. Ii
was one of the best lectures ever given
here mot quite as good as that by Hon.
r. G. Horr, but well worth double the
price of admission. The course has been
the best by far even given in town, and
so successful financially that a balance
of from $50 TO $50 will be carried over
to start off the next course. Right here
it is we'll to give due credit TO the com
mittee for the hard work put into the
course and to urge everyone TO be ready
to take hold of the matter and help lay
plans for the next course early in the
summer when the best talent can be had
so that the curse may start of full as
early in the fall as this season.
We are glad to learn that the farm
ers in this vicinity evidently intend 10
make all the maple sugar possible this
year. j. ii. Lamson has sold already
more sugar tools than ever before in "A
whole season. The maple sugar crop is
one of the most profitable that the state
produces. There is a large and increas
ing demand for a good article, from all
parts of the country, particularly from
the west, and good sugar sells for 10 to
10 cents or ? to ) cents more than granu-
lated. Whether 1t would pay to cut and
cure first class wood for this purpose we
do not know, but in almost every sugar
orchard plenty of dead limbs, etc. can be
picked up TO run the fire and boil the sap,
so that aside from the labor, the product
Is almost clear gain. Ii takes nothing
from the soil, and does not injure the land
as other crops, and it comes at a season
when there is little else to do.
