its development by selecting ears for

Morrisville is to be afforded a treat
in the course of lectures to be given
} by Rev. j. J. Lewis of Boston, at the
town hall Wednesday evening, Sept.
II, and Monday evening Sept. II.
The course is entitled Through
Brightest Europe" and is a vivid de-
scription of the speaker recent trav-
els abroad, assisted by views of the
main points of interest visited by
him. Mr.. Lewis has been long and
favorably known here, and his lecture
upon the Passion Play and Through
the Canadian Rockies are yet suffi-
GENTLY fresh in the minds of the
people to bespeak for him a full house.
The lookup is completed and is, in
deed, a substantial and well equipped
place for the business for which it is
intended. The surroundings and out
look from this suburban retreat is
surely very cheerful, and will elevate
the dropping spirits of any who may
be so unfortunate as to be entertain
ed there. Located as it is, very near
ly in the center of that public park
owned by the town in the rear of our
commodious opera house, it has
every advantage, and is nicely shell
tered from the bleak winds by the
neighboring barns. A dream OF
beauty has passed away, and the
public will heave deep sigh of pain
full regret when it is realized thatsuch
f a lovely spot must now become the
abiding place of "jags."
) The Seventh Day Adventists closed
very successful ten days camp
meeting on Monday. The meetings
have been we'll attended and a con-
siderable interest has developed. All
details of the camp have been con-
Quoted with a remarkable system and
in perfect order throughout. On Sat
urday afternoon a large number from
the camp, as well as the village, gath
cred at tho river bank above the tan
merry, where seven or eight were bap-
tized by Elder Bicknell of Burlington.
The prolonged dry weather was IA
vorable in most respects for the out
door meetings, although the new
grounds and walks and drives lead
ing to them were deep in fine dust.
Altogether, the meetings have been a
success beyond expectations, and will
probably be continued another year.
