Rev. W. l.. Beard, who has been called to the pastorate of the Congrega- tional church in this palce, is with us, and is making good impression upon the people. We wish him much success in his work here.
 The young people will have an enter tainment in the M. E. church vestry this (Thursday) evening, with music, vocal and instrumental, recitations and read ings. All are invited. Admission free.
 At the flag raising at the school house in this village tomorrow (Friday) afternoon the exercises promise to be of very interesting character, consisting of recitations by school, and addresses by some of the citizens, with music, both vocal and instrumental. We hope that very general attendance by the people of the place will show our interest in this patriotic movement of our public school. Prof. w. O. Turner was in the place this week and is as much driven with business as ever.
