animation and at the closing exercises in
the evening, which consisted of songs, dec

acquitted themselves finely. At the close
the scholars in the upper school presented
their teacher with handsome photograph

sponded in a manly and heartfelt manner.
1t is understood that the same teacher will
continue in the winter term, to the general
satisfaction of all.

or a dress to come and see
the assortment soon.
Without attempting many
details of the special values
to be offered mention lot
of very " swell sweep skirt"
braided coats worth SIS for
S18.75 each, and these are
considered to-day the top
notch of fashion.
In the same style of cut,
three other lots at $1,000,
SIS and S12.75 each.
In other cuts Of approved
but less extreme designs spec
ial values at $3.50 and $40.
In connection with this
special sale OF garments | have
decided to offer for a few
days most of my last sea-
sons Cloaks and a few gar
ments which we ordered early
this season which are a little
shorter and slightly different in
cut from the cut most approved
to-day at absolutely half price
and there are many thoroughly
good things and staple styles
among them. Do not ask for
credit, we want the money tol

out water while we dug. | found at a
depth of fifteen feet several pieces of drift
wood and in one instance a piece of bark
that must have come from a large tree.

years There is no doubt from appear
ances that it was once a river bed, although

Papers have lately been received by Mrs.
L. c. Cushing containing interesting ac-

Cushing Great grandfather Carter helped
establish the church in days when land
was assessed one penny per acre to pay
the minister. The sermon was two to four
hours long, and the sexton was paid six
shillings per year to sweep six times
and bring water to baptize the children.
| The sexton had no fire to keep nor bell &c
ring, the people being summoned by a
drum or horn. The Carter ancestry can
be distinctly traced back to 1855, when
| Thomas Carter, graduate at 10 of st.
Johns college, England, came TO Dedham.
He was % years old and embarked as a
servant because the emigration laws were
so strict as to make it very difficult for ed
Gated persons to emigrate. In 1912 Thos
Carter was ordained pastor of neighbor-
| ing church His son Samuel graduated at
| Harvard college in 1860 at the age Of 20.

On Sunday, November 20, the parish of

versary of its organization. The sermon
will be preached by the Rev. Alexander V.
G. Allen, D. D., senior professor in the

who was rector of the parish from October,
1855, to May, 1867. DR.. Allen is the

of wide culture and broad sympathies.
There will be two services, at 1920 a.

service the sacrament of the Lord supper
will be administered by DIR. Allen. In the
afternoon the service will be of a comment

DR.. Allen and Rev. w. Il. Collins, rector
of St. Michael's church, Brattleboro, and

hardly family in town, whose history
goes back to 40 or 45 years, that has not

that there will be a goodly attendance,

THE MANAGRMEN

Mr.. Henry refers to paper in Neills
"yirginia Company (pages 4O7-41ll,
which is a criticism of the management
of the enterprise for the first twelve
yeaiS, and says, at was the same man
sgement that was SO severely criticised
by Captain John Smith. But he
cannot be held responsible for their
agreeing with him." etc. 1t is true that
Smiths so-called history is really largely
an adverse criticism OF the Virginia Com
pany of London-not for any spe-
cial period, but from its first
charter of 1909 10 its dissolution
in 1924, yet Smiths ideas OF the "mis-
management did not agree with the
ideas OF the paper referred to by MIR.
