Joined the Press Association excur-
sion on their trip to Nantasket, in
company with her father.
Charles Crane had q shock of apo
plexy last Monday forenoon while
at his place of business, and since
| then has been in a critical condition.
His mind seems to have been effected
by the shock and the doctors do not
give much encouragement of his ever
recovering from it's effect.
E. H. Sherwin, formerly station
agent at this place, but who for a
few wears past has held a similar posi-
| tibn at Johnson, has been asked by
Superintendent Folsom to again as
sumo the responsibilities of this sta
ton. We hope Mr.. Sherwin will
accept the position.
Some of the Johnson Good Tenn
plars came to this place last Friday
evening for the purpose of reorgan-
ling the lodge here. There seems to
have been some misunderstanding
about the matter, as no one seemed
to know anything about the meeting
and did not turn out.
The match game of base ball be-
tween the No Names of Morrisville

If the columns of the News AND
CITIZEN are a little dull this week. it
will probably be owing to the fact
that the editor has been away, en-
joying an outing with the Vermont
Press Association, which has been to
Boston, Plymouth and Ndntasket for
it's annual excursion. Editor Lewis
was accompanied by Governor Page.
Russell Page, I'd, Secretary McFar-
land and Postmaster Hulburd, as
invited guests. The party spent
| Sunday at Nantasket. AS q sample
of the health of Messrs. Mcfarland
and Hulburd we will state that at
| Nantasket they went to dinner alone
and when about to leave the table
the colored waiter who had served
them placed a ticket alongside o.
Rogers plate on which were the fig
ures So. %. that being the amount O
the dinners that had been disposed
of. 7 he disciple of John Wanamakel
WAS peechless that price for a good
square m al was far more than he
had anticipated. His partner came
to his relief however, and informed
the waiter that they were guests O
the Press Association and were emit
tied to all of it's privileges, which in
Guided a reduction of about rs pei
cent. on the hotel bill. L" Beg par

went out and took q stroll on the
beach. At all of the meals after that
Roger made sure that a newspaper
man accompanied him to the dining
hall.
