Children's day was properly observed at
the Embury NJ. Il. and the Congregational
Churches Sunday to large gatherings.
Al the Embury Church the pastor, Rev.
j. A. l.. Rich, preached at l0:45 a. m. to
the Enterprise Lodge, No. 22, |. o. o. F.,
OF Pawtucket. There we're goodly num-
Der OF the representatives OF the links
present, and the church was crowded to
the doors. The services opened with the
usual organ voluntary followed by
Scripture readings, prayer and anthems.
Then came the sermon. The preacher took
his text from Acts, 9th chapter, 23d verse,
using the words "Whom l am, Whom
| serve"
The sermon was interesting throughout
and attentively listened TO by the members
of the lodge. AT the close OF the
address the benediction was pronounced
and the visitors returned to their lodge
room, well pleased with their Sunday
service.
In the evening the Sunday school gave
| a children's concert which was also large
| ly attended. After the opening exercises
an interesting address was made to the
children by the pastor, followed by sing
ing and recitations by the little ones, also
older members OF the school, all of which
| we're intelligently given. The concert
| proved one of the most successful ever
| given by the children.
| At the Congregational Church at 1215
o'clock the pastor, Rev. j. III. Lyon,
preached special sermon to the children.
| a mr.
and special music was rendered by the

| sunday at Valley Pond.
Valley Pond is situated In a pleasant
| spot near both the villages OF Central and
| Valley Falls, and affords an excellent OPP
portunity for the residents to enjoy them
selves In boating and strolling through
the groves and adjoining woods. A man
| who is well known and who works all the
| week has made no smaG sum during the
past five years letting boats by the hour, Of
| which he has quite number. People OF
all ages congregate In the locality and OF
course small boys will go there. Yester-
day frankie Duffy went to what Is called
Horse Shoe Cove, and then got into boat
attached to a long rope. While pushing
about the pond the boat capsized, and the
little fellow went into the water. John
Markey saw the accident and plunging in
brought the lad ashore safely. The boy
was going down for the third time when
| rescued.
Conroy's Circus Closed.
For the second time within four weeks
Conroy's circus has collapsed. The cause
is attributed to poor management, large
expense and slim patronage. The show
arrived here Saturday morning and gave
two performances to small audiences. The
tent remained up over Sunday, affording
the people In the vicinity some amuse-
ment, while the performers and canvass
men who remained TO the last discussed
the condition OF affairs and the show died
where it originated from right here in this
village. Three different managers took a
hand at the directing, but none was sue
cessful. The canvass was taken down
this morning, and stored away until
brighter prospects present themselves.
The actors shifted for themselves.
An Old Landmark.
Ernest Mueller, who has for few
years past conducted paying bakery
business in Brennan's block, Saturday
purchased the property known as the
Deacon Cole estate, next to the Cole
blocks on Central street. The house
which is one OF the oldest landmarks Is to
be raised up, and store for his business
placed underneath. This will add much
Improvement to the locality.
