ClRCULATION:
Affairs About Town.
HAwLEYVILLE'S SENSATION,

Hawleyvllle Is once again prominently brought before the public eye, and this time, by most unfortunate circum- stance that brings two of it's young peo- pie into complicated situation, owing to the accusations brought one against the other. On last Friday, Deputy Sher- fir Glover arrested Henry Fancher, in Danbury at the Gospel tent, on the charge of "felonious assault, with the attempt to commit rape' on the person of Isabella F. Richard. Mir Fapcher was brought to Newtown on Saturday and in order that he might secure counsel, he was bound over to appear at Newtown on Saturday, the 26th, at l o'clock, by Judge Cavanaugh. MT Fancher's fath- CT, when seen, claimed that it is case of blackmail, caused by jealousy, his son having paid Miss Pitchard some atten- tions. On the other hand, Miss Pitch- ard, through her guardian. E. r. Pitch ard, claims it is a true bill, and the courts alone will be left to settle the un- fortunate affair.

SAFE INVESTMENT. To Whom 1t May Concern.

On the 9th and 5th of June visited the home
 office of the Building and Loan Association of
 Dakota, at Aberdeen, s. D., for the purpose Of
 making a thorough examination of its affairs.
 found ". H. Du Bois, inspector of finance
 tor the state of Vermont, visiting the office of
 the association upon my arrival, making his annual inspection of its affairs, prior to issu-
 transact business in Vermont; and I there
 fore found it unnecessary tor me to do much
 of the work expected, as MT Du Bois made
 very searching examination, leaving his en- dorsement on the books of the association to the effect that he had found the same accurate and the assets of the association as represent ed. l personally met President Jumper, who is also president of the First National bank of Aberdeen, and Secretary Easton; also most of the other directors of the association found them actively engaged in financial business in DakotO, successful in all their personal af- fairs, and it is my opinion they are eminently fitted to carry on the business of the associa- uon and manage its million dollars of assets. | The association has upwards ot Sl00,O00 Of | loans in Aberdeen, which I personally in spected, and while could not inspect all of | the securities held by it. I judge from the care which has been exercised in placing the loans | which examined, the balance of them to be 1 equally well taken. All in all, am of the opinion that the management Of the associa- | ton is good, and if continued, it's present suc- | cess is assured for the future.
