WITu great reluctance would the
JOURNAL utter discordant word in
connection with the "Allcgauy county
centennial" observance, first proposed
by itself about six years ago, and
Seayoaabiy reiterated in its issue of De
ccmbcr 22d, last.
But it turns out that the Cumber-
land Times discovered this week the
same historical fact upon which we
built our proposition. and. pioneer
like, went on to suggest Il proper cclc-
bration. lust rs though the notion was
original with its genuine and only
self 1t has. in fact, carried its airy
mission TO the extent of obtaining the
opinions of leading citizens of Cum
bcrland. and its reports, we are glad
to observe, cvIncc Il consensus favorable
To the proposal.
This kind Of enterprise may beat
the Ncrs," but it is not honest dealing
with the paper from which the Times
undoubtedly borrowed GA more ten
dercr word'D its laot-found suggestion
without acknowledging the location of
discovery. 1t was not needful to say
much-only Il very few words of cred
it-but those words should have been
said. Otherwise, the course of all the
other papers. which-save one manly
exception. the Homecoming Star-have
said nothing, would have been more
commcndablc.
TIL" Journal claims very little for
its original suggestion, and much less
for reading the record which gave rise
to it, Hence. it is no Mrs. farley
travelling around with wax tiggers'
of inimitablc ideals.
THE following paragraph from the
Cumberland Times of recent date is
worth re-printing:
AilegaEy county has never had a more cN
ceIlent and painstakiHg board Of county COM
partrnent of the countys affairs is in the
most perfect order, and reduced to such sys-
tenn that it is no longer burdensome to the
public To- transact business with that body.
Under the efficient care of clerk Fuller. the
books and papers Of the office are SO system
atZcd, even to the smallest detail, that 1t
may be said he has the county's business at
his fingers ends. Carcfulness, economy and
promptncsS seem to be distinguishing char
acteristcs of the present board of commits
sioncrs.
Except among dcvotees of the Spoils
idea, where public Offices are diStrib-
uted as rewards Of supposed party
service. the Times comment will be full
ly endorsed. So far as we have seen in
the administration of road affairs at
least, capable, honest men have been
placed III charge and the results show
100 cents for each dollar expended,
And the roads are the most import
ant of all items Of county cost to be
kept at par. The majority of people
admit 1t.
The JOURNAL hopes for this section
to see the current system continued,
whether the present regime is or not
1t is impossible, as rule. for "A
party man to earn his wages twice.
He cannot make his salary as heel
er, and then, for the same money, do
his duty by the roads.

The centennial celebration of the M.
 D. church on Wednesday last was an occasion of much interest, and on the whole a grand success. The exercises began at 1O:3O with an able and appro- priate centennial sermon by Rev Dr J. G. Oakley. At the close of the morn ing session the visiting clergymen and other friends were invited to partake of collation., worthy of the reputation of the Methodist ladies, which had been prepared in the parson- age and church prayer room. The afternoon session opened at 2:3O with an interesting and carefully prepared historical sketch of the Lakeville NJ. E. church during the past century, by Rev Clark Wright. This was followed by the reading of thrilling poem entitled |" One Hundred Years" by Rev w. G.. Browning. The poem was written for the occasion by Mr Browning's daugh- ter, lady of much poetic talent The evening service at 7:30 was an appropri- ate closing for the exercises of the day. The first speaker introduced by Rev R
 H. Travis, presiding elder. was Rev w. G. Browning, former pastor and the oldest living pastor of the charge. He spoke interestingly of people and events connected with the church history daring his period of ministry, about 37

A large and aristocratic assemblage gathered in Trinity church, Lime Rock, Wednesday, Oct. 18th, Ut p. m., the occasion being the marriage of Elizabeth. eldest daughter of MT J. H. Hurlburt, of Lime Rock, to MT Walter Wakeman. formerly of Millerton, N. Y.

Harvey was appropriate and we'll chosen-the thrilling strains of the Wedding March charmed alike both the audience and the bridal party. The wedding gifts were both numerous and costly. They represent the high esteem and bear the congratulations of circle of over two hundred friends. To enumerate them would make hst too long to publish.
