The State Board of Agriculture will
hold meeting here February and 7.
Miss Hartig, State Evangelist, adj
dressed several meetings last week.
She was well received.
The Dorset schools, thirteen in all,
commenced the winter term December
4th, with the following teachers: Dis
trict No. l, West Road, Miss Georgia
Leach; No. 2, Nina Marsh; No. Dorset
Hollow, Fannie Bebee: Village, No 7,
Cora B. Hook higher department, Cora
M. Marsh primary; South Dorset, Mag
gle McNaboe higher department, Lizzie
Magner primary; Morse district, Sarah
Kelleher; Dorset Hill, Mary Tulley !;
North Dorset, Maggie Sheridan; Eas t
Dorset village, Miss Ryan higher depart
ment, Sarah Cunningham intermediate,
Emily Roberts primary. The schools
closed last Friday for the holidays, be-
ginning again on January End. The
writer was present with quite number
of others who had children there, during
the Christmas exercises Friday after
noon, in School Hall in District No. I,
where nearly 80 pupils took part, under
the management of Misses Hook and
Marsh. Several chOruses were sung by
the school harmonioYsly, leading one to
enquire from whence came such sweet
voices. When when we consider whose
children they are we do not wonder at it.,
having stood beside their parents year
after year, and away back in the fifties
under the leadership of S. P. Cheney,
both In singing school and choir. 1t is
to be regretted that there is no musical
instruction being given the children in
this town. Each pupil had their piece,
from the little five-year-old to the young
man or woman sufficiently eloquent to
grace any station in life. Selections
were read by Miss Hook in a commend
able manner, after which, prefixed by a
happy speech by the teachers, Christmas
cards were presented to each pupil.

life of usefulness before him, but for
his untimely death.

William II. Harley died last Thursday
morning, after hort Illness. He was q
young man of many good traits of char

mics. Very many of our citizens showed
their respect for him by attending his
funeral at the Court House, Saturday the
interment being at East Dorset. He was
unmarried, but leaves a dependent
mother and sister, his two brothers hav-
ing gone West many years ago, and it is
not known they are now living.

Another Escape from sing Sing.

SING SING, n. Y, June l5-Frank Ad-
ans q convict serving second term, his
right name being James Henry. as picked
in india ink on his left arm, escaped from
the State prison Yesterday while working
outside the prison walls in the ice house,
behind the old female prison. Adams asked
permission to go TO closet near by. AS he
did not return, the keeper went TO look for
him but he has not been seen since. A
thorough search resulted only in the find
ing of the fugitive's clothes near the closet.
1t then became evident that there was col
fusion with the outside world and that a
suit of citizens clothes had been "plantedn
for him. a reward Of $500 is offered for
Adams's arrest. The man would hays
been discharged from custody next Mon
day. THIS is tho fourth escape from the
prison in less than two months.

What Shall We Drink?

When the rays of old Sol are boiling
down at a ninety degree rate, the air
like the breath of a furnace and every
thing hot. dry and dusty, the natural
desire OF the average human is TO drink.
But, what to drink? there's the ques-
ton.
A beverage to meet the requirements,
must, first Of all. be absolutely pure and
non alcoholic. 1t should possess a me-
dicinal element to counteract the ef-
fects Of the heat and keep the blood
pure and the stomach healthiul. In
order to be palatable and refreshing, IL
should be sparkling and efferVescent
Last but not least, it must be econom-
ical and within the reach of ALL A bev-
erage that fully meets all of the above
requirements and one that is entitled to
more than passing mention is Hires
Rootbeer. manufactured by the Chas.
L. Hires Co., of Philadelphia. 1t has a
delicious, appetiziDg favor, is full OF
snap, sparkle and effervescence, and is
without peer as a refreshment.
A package, costing 25 cents at the
grocer's or druggists, will make five
gallons Of this great temperance drink.
