wedding, the parties congregating at the
residence Of their son, Henry Chaplin. Mr..
and Mrs. Chaplin were the recipients Of sew
eral valuable presents and money, in all
to over S75. The presentation
speech was made by their venerable pastor,
Rev. Grin Davis, who married them fify
years before, and the response in their be-
hall was made by w. g. Bugbee. The
event was thoroughly eujoy ed by the house
ful OF friends present, both in the afternoon
and evening, and shows the very high es-
teen in which the aged couple are held by
all who know them.
The general query nowadays about here
seems to be, Why are we not to have a sep
arator put in in this village in connection
with the creamery at Montpelier The To-
cation is certainly desirable one and
would attract the attention of farmers in
the south part of the town of Calais, repre-.
seuting several hundred cows, which
neither OF the separatorS at Plainfield or
East Montpelier will get, besides quite a
number OF farmers in the north part Of our
town 1t seems to our may-be-selhsh eyes
that it will be mistake If one is not put in
here, both TO the farmers about here and
also TO the plant in Montpelier Why does
not some one interested here see the II an
ager of the creamery and present the very
favorable outlook of this location?
There was smart runaway between this
village and East Calais, Saturday evening Of
last week. A young man with one of Harry
Parks teams, in driving down the hill this
side OF the village Of East Calais, collided
with a double team about one-half the way
down. The young man was thrown out,
the carriage turned bottom side up. When at
this point, the cross-bar breaking, the horse
being clear from the carriage ran several
rods, dragging him by the reins. He at last
was obliged to let go the hors it running
out of sight aud hearing. Parties we're out
in search Of him all of Saturday night and
Sunday forenoon before he was found, sew
eral miles from the place where the accident
happened. The young man got a thorough
shaking up, but was not much hurt.

The Ladies' Aid Society gave an enter
tainment at the Congregational church on
Friday evening, consisting of Scotch dialect
readings by Rev. r. G. Moody of North
