to run with renewed vigor after its rest
during the winter.
The pond is free from ice. and anglers
are trying their luck, which So far seems
to be very good. The weather has been
too cold to indulge in any boating but we
hope soon to bc able to launch some OF
the little skitis which are now getting on
their new coats OF paint ready forscrvice
Last week grand ball was given bv
the proprictorS of the Avcrill House on
the occasion OF its opening to receive
boardcrs during the coming season. All
the guests seemed to cnjoy themselves
very much. An eye witness of the dane
ing on that occasion says. that the gen
tlemen deserve to be rewarded for the way
they tried to dance" Emphasis on the
tried. We hope after they have tried
few times more, that it will be easier for
their fair partners to guide them through
the macs. We are sure that the Avcrll
House must be a very comfortable board
ing place now as much money and labor
has been spent this spring in reiurnshing,
etc, etc.
The school which is in charge of Mr..
Dowdell is in hourishing condition.
There are thirty-nne names on the reg $
ter We hope that the parents will do
all they can to assist the teacher III his
good work for their children.
\ night school for the benefit of the
Young men OF the place was set on foot,
but we are sorry to report that it has not
been successful The Young men claim
that they are too tired after their days
work in the mill, to attend 1t is hard
work to settle ones mind to study after
working hard all day, but we think that
the desire to improve their neglected cdu-
cation ought to be strong enough to
overcome this obstacle and that they
should take advantage OF the chance to
add to their store of knowled Lc
The Sunday School here we think de
serves special mention. 1t has large
and regular attendance Of pupils. There
are many much larger towns which have
not nearly SO nice n Sunday School. Its
success is attributed to the united efforts
| of the teachers, and we think they deserve
great credit for tn" work that they have
! done and are still doing. We are sure
| that Miss Wiggctt and Miss Amcs cspcci-
ally ought to receive honorable mention
for the interest that they take i'll both
| Sunday School and Church work, We
are sorry to say that Miss Amcs has left
us for short time. She has gone to live
with the Canaanites t. learn the mllin-
cry business We hope that she will learn
! quickly and soon return to take her class
and also her position rs organist at
church service. Mss Ella Wiggett has
kindly consented to take her place during
! her absence.

sickness. Mrs. II. Woodard and Mrs.
w. Logan have been in very poor health
lately. Mrs Amcs has been greatly
troubled with asthma this spring. We
hope that as the warm weather comes
that sickness and asthma will flee away.
We are all wondering what is the mat
ter with the clerk of the Averll Lumber
Co. 5 store lately. Heappcars sometimes
as if he did not know whether he was
walking on his head or on his feet. Some
! folks say that he has an interest in n
drcssmakng and dry goods business
down near Norton. which gives him CON
siderable trouble, and as it is on Sundays
that he attends to this business, it is
generally on Monday morning that he
has his bad spells. The school-master
here is thinking of having his life insured
for the above mentioned clerk is afraid
that he too wants to get into the same
business and has threatened to dispose
|
sorry that he should feel so towards such
an insignificant looking fellow rs our
school-mastcr and we are sure that he
need have no fears, the school-mastcr has
too much to do in connection with his
school and church work to wish to go
into the drcssmaking business just now
We sincerely hope that nothing serious
will come of this matter, and also that
the clerk will soon feel towards his fellows
as he used to do Wcthink that the clerk
is naturally a real good fellow, but there
IS no saying what a young man may dc
when he is thinking of going into business
for himself
Nav five are having a booming
time here at present. The booms con
tanning the logs belonging to the Aver'l
Lumber Co., have been breaking loose
and giving cons derable trouble. Mr.
Amcs thinks he has them secured again
Both of the mills here are running full
time now and are turning out lots OF fine
lumber.
; A gentleman with a phonograph has
lust arrived in town and is entertaining
the public by letting them listen to The
} fine speeches and music which that won
, derful instrument is capable of giving
them. All for five cents.
A summer visitor has arrived at Mr.
and Mrs W. Logan's in the shape of a
six and a halfpound baby boy. We thinl
