The fall and winter arrangement of
trains went into effect Monday. By
it the east-bound mail train arrives
at 1918. and the evening express is
at7:19. West-bound trains are, the
express at 9:37 a. m, and the mail
at $40 p. m. The MorrisvilIe train
arrives several hours earlier at night.
After we get used to the new order of
things, we shall doubtless see a num-
Der of advantages in it.
A harvest concert, largely attended
and very successfully carried out, was
given by the Universalist Sunday
school last Sunday evening. The
decorations were very tasty and APP
prOpriate. Grains, grasses, fruits and
vegetables were grouped about the
desk. while around all were the beau
tiful autumn leaves, which seem more
beautiful than ever this year. Some
pretty arrangements of leaves, ETC.,
appeared in the Congregational house
in the morning.
Doubtless the town knows all it
cares to about "Mexican Charlie
and his artificial darkey show. The
dollars this fellow carried off would
have gone some ways toward giving
US the much-needed public improve
ments about the village Instead of
trying to beat keen sharper at his
own game, better put the dollars in
to sidewalks or electric lights. The
more unsatisfactory place Morrisville
is for these fake patent quack af-
fairs, the better off it viii be. We do
not refer to any legitimate show
which gives what you pay for.
We commend the following to the
careful thought of all our towns
people;
Mr.. Enron: Is it not about time that
our town hall should beput in a suitable con-
tition for our lecture course? This is a town
hall, and as such everybody should feel inter
'sted in its appearance and comfort If it is |
necessary to get an expression of the people |
on this subject, why not call special meet |
ng of the town and discuss the matter of |
shutters and other needed repairs appropri- |
lung sufficient money to meet the expense. t
which need not be large. l am sure every |
otter will see the necessity of brushing up |
he inside, as well as advising cleanliness out
