At the Conductors fair last week Andy
Angler was voted the cane as the most popu-
lar merchant Rev. Father HOLMAN, the grip,
as the most popular clergyman, and George
Punt the lantern as the most popular railroad
conductor. The fair left the promoters about
even, they getting as their dividend, the en-
joyment of the gatherings.
The single team owned by the FAN Noun
tain company started down through the
square Tuesday afternoon on run. The
sleigh was overturned near the postOffice and
went bottom up down Mill street to the
mill yard. When it went across the railroad
the sleigh was right side up and the horse
astride the thill. No serious damage was
done.

worked the initiatOry degree on eight candi-
dates last lodge night. and was highly COM
plimented by visiting brothers. The new Of

prospects are good that they will succeed.
Tonight they work the first All brothers
are urged to be present.
If your barber suits you; gives you smooth
shave and tasty hair cut, turn the favor and
give him a vote on that gOld-headed cane
which the Canton boys have put up for the
most popular barber in town, on the night of
their fair and ball. And don't forget the
drivers of the iron horse, whose life is in
constant danger, serving you, but put in one
vote for them that he may carry the best Ian
tern on the road. Look out, boys, for

hit into three fourths of an inch and one was
hit on the side slightly. The string is re-
markable one for Ii year old boy. however.
He never has shot much, but what he has
done seems to have been to some purpose.
Mrs. Walter Blake and Mrs. Zina Allbee
entertained between 20 and so friends at the
formers home on South street Tuesday even
ing. In drive whist the first prizes were
awarded Mrs. G. w. Black, who took gen.
tleman's place because gentlemen were a
trif1e 'shy," and Miss Carrie Adams. BOBBY
prizes were awarded to Mrs. c. w. Labaree
and G. S. Howard. Detachable refreshments
were served in very elegant manner. The
party was highly successful and enjoyable.
The Central Vermont company is handling
more freight than ever before in its history.
The company has just received $50 new
freight cars of which 225 are box pattern
and % platform. superintendent of motive
power, W. j. Robertson, says it is impossible
to get any more big locomotives, which they
would like, because all railroad builders
shops are so rushed with orders. All the
machine and repair shops of the company
have been moved to st. Adams, and the
whole force of men is now working IA hours
a day to keep up with the repairs needed.
If there is one thing more than another
that makes a pedestrian hate himself it is
walking around team hitched square across
the sidewalk In the square there iS little
difficulty but on other streets there seems to
be no difference between sidewalks and
roads. 1t matters not if the roads are muddy.
One must walk around The team Just the
same. 1t would be well if people who are
obliged to use the sidewalks would either
and back it out of their way. They have
right to the sidewalks which no team can
dispute. 1t would be well to follow these
matters up more closely than has been done
heretofore.
Two runaways was the record for yester-
day. The first was double team which
started from Farr's stable, or near there and
ran up through the square to LovelPs stable,
where it was stopped. When it went around
the corner of Towns hotel the sled slowed
and struck the back end of another sleigh,
doing some damage. How the team ever got
through the crowded street without doing
more damage is mystery. In the afternoon
the single teamowned by the Fall Mountain
company took another turn at il and ran
from the square up Bridge street without
doing any particular damage. The owners
or drivers of these horses are in some degree
to blame. 1t matters not how much man
may trust his horse. he has no right to leave
him unhitcheJ for moment, where it can run
through street endangering lives and prop
erty. The matter of leaving horses should be
looked to closer before some one is hurt.
