On the evening of Sept. p, the 4. q. u.
W. lecture was given in the church in this
village Members of the SedgwiCk order
were present The church choir rendered
selections during the evening assisted as
usual by accompaniment upon the pipe or
gan bv Mrs. Davis. Grand Master Work
man John &. Bickford of Manchester n.
H., was the first speaker and referred to
the benefits of the order as an insurance
organization at low rates, speaking also
of the growth of the order to 265 900 mem
bers, and of its principles, ,scrptural, moral
and social-an exceedingly interesting adj
dress. Rev. Mr.. Pheian OF Surry, was the
next to speak He emphasized the worth
of the order fraternally, and made a strong
plea for the establishment of it in every
town. Grand Overseer A. G. Andrews of
Augusta, followed with brief but clear
cut address with good deal of convincing
argument in it, showing how the enlarge
ment of the order would prevent trouble
and war in our country, as naturally such
body of men would seek not to increase,
but to diminish the death rate. This ring
ing speech occupied only half an hour.
Mr.. Binder of East Bluehill, District Dep
uty introduced the speakers and had charge
of the entire service. This order seems to
have an excellent basis and is, no doubt, a
grand order for all young men to belong
to. After these exercises the people pat
roniZed the supper in the hall by the ladies
of the sidewalk circle, and the net pro-
ceeds were about $50, so that altogether
the evening was unusually profitable.
Such lecture was timely and helpful, and
it was kind in the A. .. U. w. to help out
the sidewalk fund. We hope the A. o.
U. W. will become power for good in
our community.
Recently Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Byard and
child have removed to Haverhill, Mass.
We wish them prosperity in their new

Prospects in the stock market this morning
seemed bright on the publication of dispatch
from the other side of the ocean describing a
better feeling over the South American troubles
and a brighter outlook there. Later, however,
the announcement that the government of the
Argentine Republic had ordered another three
days suspension of payments by the banks,
placed a new face upon the matter. and,
although the feeling there was described as
hopeful the effect upon the stock market here
was unfavorable, and selling was resumed after
a slight rally and still lower prices. Movements
to-day, as usual, were confined 70 very few
stocks, Changers, Lackawanna and Louisville
and Nashville being the only one, except New
England in which there we're movements for
