One day, bright and blushing
spring the next cold and vigorous
winter.
Did you fall victim to any April
fool pranks I
If you did you can find plenty of

Farmers are all busily engaged

Owing to the heavy storm the sugar
party and dance at j. p. Farwell's
was postponed until Friday, April
18th.
Miss Lettie Whitman and sister,
MIS-. Henry Howard, have been at
home for few days.
The stolm of last Friday was the
hardest of the season. Nearly two
feet of snow fell making roads almost
impossible. The Manchester stage
was unable to get farther than Clarks-
vile.
Considerable excitement was caused
last Wednesday by the announce
ment that Sheriff Tower had seized
the personal effects of f. f. Stevens,
and that auctioneer Eames would dis
pose of the same at public auction at
10 a. m. ON that day, However as it
was the first day of April no one con-
sidered their presence essential to the
success of the sale. During the day
many of our citizens were seen at the
hotel, wiping their mouths in a sus-
picious manner, it even being feared
that "John" was dealing out more
ardent than consistent with public
good. But when it leaked out thai
the genial "John" had only beer
treating few Of the unsuspecting tt
dose of cold coffee, all fears gave
way to a general laugh. Undoubted
ly some are thankful that the first O.
| April comes only once a year. Tit
only question left unsettled is whethe
Anse really got taken in or not.
The move against the establish
ment of pool room in town, canno
be considered otherwise than virtuou
and must be productive of good re
, suits. While this move is progress
) ing, let US not forget that there ar
, other establishments of a like kin
, existing in town, only under differen
r circumstances. Circumstances, how
] ever, do not answer to the law, c
e change the moral effect such an es
: Establishment has upon community.
Our merchants announce that the
are selling 10 lbs. of graduated sugs
for Sl.00. Which of course is d
o rectly due to the removal of the dut,
: making it free, and the protection {
It the manufacturer by bounty. Th
it shows how after all the rant and pc
o tinacious talk as to the effect of thes
it two extremes of tariff policy, FRI
O Trade and Protection can lie dow
h together in peace and apparent tral
d guilty. G.

I Mr.. Editor: A few ladies in tn
y village would like to know if there
e any way stop can be put to tt
II whiskey and cider flowing so free
'e here :? 1t is running both health al
r homes. We propose that the eide
}, man be shot and empty the Agen'
7. into West river. We declare the
IA both a nuisance. Is there any way
IL can be done ?
n Respectfully,
IS THE LADIES.
The above comes to us anonymou
, ly, but believing it was sent in go'
> faith we depart from our usual custo
{ and give it a place. Well, ladies, v
could hardly advise shooting the cid
, man, but if you will sew him up in
: sheet and get what they call bl
whip and lay it on to him until all t
= cider runs out of him, all right, t
:, SITTER will say amen. And then,
! celebrate the event, if you will pit
= the agency INTO West river, anne
;. three times and "tiger." The ia
!; is that a town liquor agency is
abominable nuisance and ought to
abated. This town has no more u
