Mr.. g. w. Noyes has been offered
and accepted the position OF foreman
OF the Gorham shops, made vacant by
the death Of his brother, Warren, and
will assume charge there August |.
Our people are very sorry indeed to
have Mr.. Noyes leave the community,
for he is q man that cannot well be
spared, yet rejoice in his prefermeht.
Island Ponds loss will be Gorhans
gain, for wherever Mr.. Eoyes' lot IN
life is cast, there he will be found the
same pushing, energetic and enterpris
ing man, ever ready to help advance
the interests Of all around him. The
Gorham people are much pleased at
'his appointment; they know him.
The matter of who shall succeed Mr..
Noyes at Island Pond is ut present in
abpyance. The position was offered
to p. q. Evans OF Gorham, but it was
not convenient however for him to nc
cept il, and It's confidently hoped and
expected that it will be given to Mr.,
george L. Ilorr. Such an appointment
would give almost universal satisfac'
ton, md temper in some measure the
regret occasioned by the removal
from Island Pond Of Mr. Noyes.

We were much pleased last Monday
to make the acquaintance Of Mr.. John
b. Clarke OF Manchester. n. H., editor
and proprietor Of that sterling paper
the Mirror and Farmer who, accom-.
panied by Mrs. Clarke, is driving
through this section of the country for
recreation and pleasure. Mr.. Clarke
was very much impressed with the
beauty OF our surroundings, our public
buildings, and the pure and invigorat'
ing air, but was not very enthusiastic
about the highway between here and
North Stratford. Being an observant
man, aud withal a racy and pungent
writer, his patrons are doubtless en-.
abled to CLEAN much knowledge and
information from his impressions by
the way.

Farmers uus,Be Business Wen.

Eut.an Herald.
The farmer who would make
practical success Of farming must re-
gard it US just as much a business as
the buying and selling of dry goods or
groceries; and to his failure to do SO
must he attributed some OF the agri'
cultural failures that have discouraged
many farmers in recent years.
In old times the farmer kept his set Of
books the same as the merchant but
for reasons difficult to understand
this very busineSs-like and wise prac'
tlce has been almost wholly abandon
ed, 50 that the average farmer could
not tell the exact cost Of production
of any crops.
Let the farmer enter in his book the
labor, manure and every other outlay
made on each individual piece of
land, the cost Of seel, the expense Of
gathering the crop and that OF mar
ketins it, and he may then ascertain
ut any time. by reference to his books,
precisely what has been his profit or
loss ON each lot of lanG and each crop
produced f; and at the end Of each
season lie may study the lessons Of
his books and from them learn
wherein he has failed and succeeded
and therefrom make his calculations
for profitable production in the future.
The farmer must be business man
il he would succeed and the sooner
he realizes that brain is us essential as
muscle in agriculture, the sooner will
his vocation be raised to the level OF
profitable industries.

You can come to our store
