worked busily on the root all day Sun
day, Feb. g. They are reminded that
this is a place where there is some
thing like decent Sunday observance,
though a few people among us are
willing to desecrate the day.
The Importance of the work to be
done, March meeting day, demands
| that the most careful and cOnsiderate
attention be given to the work at
! hand. The custom, sometimes seen,
of undertaking to pay off all political
grudges and of turning the meeting
into a crazy bedlam, is never wise
and would certainly be dangerous this
year.
How would this do for board of
school commissioners for this town?
[. D. r. Collins of Barton Landing.
Clarence Ell. Wiley of Barton Landing,
| or Barton as he chooses to place his
location, and Herbert Orcutt of So.
Barton? This would make a board
combining good Judgment, intelli-
gence in school matters, with such a
distribution in location as to do JUS
tice to all parts Of the town.
Some Of the good people who be-
lieve that the Lord still rules in the
| affairs of men, Notwithstanding the
necessities of great corporations, are
asking the question whether the run
ming of trains all day last Sunday had
anything to do with the railroad acct
dent. We will not undertake to an
sWer, but will say that we never knew
great harm to come to men in the
keeping Of the ten commandments.
There are two or three Frenchmen
of the very poorest sort,who are driv-
ing almost daily between this village
and the Landing,a poor old horse that
ought, for his own good, to have been
under the ground, which they are
cruelty and terribly beating along the
road. The neighbors are making
complaint about it, and unless the
Geros change their methods they are
liable to hear something drop.
Mrs Gale, daughter of Mrs. JOS.
Owen Of this village, who has been
stopping here for several weeks on
account of poor health, does not seem
| to improve, and has decided to go to
| Savannah, Ga. where Dr.. Gale, himself
in poor health, wishes her to come
in the hope that the change of climate
will prove beneficial. Mrs. Gale is
compelled to leave her infant child
here in the care of her grandmother.
Miss Ivah NJ Dunklee, assisted by
local talent, will give an entertain
ment at NJ. E. church next Wednes-
day evening, March s. Miss Dunk
lee is very highly spoken of as an ell
ocutiOnist at Lyndonville and Barnet,
where she has recently given read
ings. A supper will be furnished in
the dining rooms with oysters, cake,
coffee, etc. Supper from 5 to 7 O'Clock,
also after entertainment. Admission,
20 cents; children, 10 cts; supper, 20
cts. See bills.
Probably the average man did not
witness anything in earth or sky this
morning that told him that this great
government had been turned over into
different hands. The sun rose, the
winds reused up, and the beautiful
snow was not less beautiful than be-
fore. Republicans and democrats will
eat, drink and sleep as they have
been doing, and all we poor fellows,
except the outgoing Office holders,
can still extract some happiness out
of the ordinary blessings Of life.
DIR. Martin, oculist, who has been
spending two or three weeks at the
American House in the line of his pro-
fession, appears to be having a good
run Of business, SO much that he will
remain here another week, going then
to Barton Landing. We have had no
work done for ourselves or family,
but Judge from what others say that
they are very we'll treated, and salts
fed with the skill of the oculist. DIR.
Martin maintains good reputationin
Franklin county, where he resides,
and visits in regular succession the
larger towns in that section.

roissiyelv to the Divine will vet we
mourn with the deepest sorrow the
loss of one whose fair face and tune

loneliness of the character within, had
won all hearts. Her wisdom and dis
