The Beedle concert Friday evening drew
crowded house. The music, which was
of high order, was thoroughly appreciat-
ed, and nearly every selection received
hearty encore. No one with a spark OF
music in his soul could have failed to be
moved by such a concord of sweet
sounds The solos OF Messrs II l.. Dick
inson, w. A. Darlington, f. T.. Bagley, O..
S. Minis and G. G. BeedIe, and the selec-
tioDs rendered by the Beedle Quintet, all
of which were exceptionally fine, call for
special mention. 1t was music which
pleased the cultivated and the unculti
waited ear, alike. After the concert, the
orchestra played for a dance, in which
about 20 couples Joined. Music like that
would almost make the hills skip, and il
is safe to say that the dancing continued
until late hour. The ubiquitous small
boy in that part of the parquet nearest
the door was on hand during the concert
and as usual, chose that moment in which
all were listening to a particularly soft
and beautiful passage to raise his tuneful
voice and favor the audience with some
wise or witty (?) reflection. Children, in
these degenerate days, are seen and, above
all, heard.
Rev. Homer White of Mortified accept
ed this week a call to his old parishes in
West Randolph and Randolph Center, at
salary of $1,000. He expects to move here

Mr.. Fairbanks. The Mortified News has
this to say OF his leaving Mortified:
"There is universal regret expressed be |
cause of Rev. Homer Whites decision to I
accept the call of his former parishes at |
Randolph. He has officiated as rector of 4
st. Mary's church here for the past seven
years. During this time the society has 1
progressed both spiritually and materially /
MIR. White has shown wisdom and discre- |
ton and made friends by his uniform /
courtesy and modesty, while his attain /
ments have commanded the highest re- 4
~ tpf IL haxfa
the affection of all their acquaintance.
Their removal Will prove a serious loss 10 /
the social circle in which they have NOV
ed. They expect to leave early in April. I
MIR. Whites resignation takes effect Eas- \
ter Sunday, April End. His successor here
has not yet been selected"
This is what the Salisbury (Missouri) /
Democrat says about prominent Western
man, who was born and spent his boy
hood in Randolph, and has now moved to
Kenton, Ohio:
"Judge Lucius Salisbury, of this city,
left Sunday with his family, for his new
home in the State of Ohio. The Judge
has been citizen of this county for near
", or quite, fifty years, ana his name is
intimately connected and interviewer with
its history during that period of his resi-
dence. He has been Judge of the county
court, representative OF the county in the
legislature for many years and filled 9TH
er places Of trust, in all of which he sig
nalized himself as a man Of integrity and
ability. He is also the founder of this
beautiful city, which bears his name and
will float 1t upon the stream of time for
ages to come, a monument to his foresight
and enterprise as a valuable citizen. The
Judge and his family leave behind them
many friends, who will mourn their loss
and who trust that they will be greeted in
their new home with the distinguished
eourtesies their worth should command"
Very interesting services we're held at
the Cong1 church Sunday morning and
evening, it being the fifteenth anniversary
Of Mr.. Hardy's pastorate. The congrega-
ion was large, and the choir, assisted oy
-he Beedle Quintet, rendered some very
ine music. The text was taken from |
Joshua III. 8, and the sermon, which was |
listened to with deep interest, showed that t
It was the unexpected, rather than the 1
which had happened, not the s
east unexpected to the preacher himself 7
