terest of the Good Templars, recently

ETC., from Roll2 Kent of that town, and

ALTHOUGH times have been hard the
past season, the bicycle business here
has been pretty good. Inquiry develops
the fact that no less than one hundred

son. Chas. II. MacDonough's sales
have reached nearly 80, while John H.
Ayres and Others have enjoyed a good
patronage. OF the total number sold, 20
were for women riders. The average
cost of each wheel has been about SS5.
With the price of standard wheels re-
duced, as has been announced, dealers
are anticipating larger sales next year.
THE day after the September election,
leading young Republican said that the
result in Bennington county was such,
that the party had reason to expect, that
anything it wanted from the hands of the
incoming governor would be granted.
His words appear to have been prophetic
for the county has again secured recog-
milton from the Governor, who has APP
pointed Hon. j. o. Sanford of Stamford,
one of the State Board of Agriculture. a
position he is abundantly qualified to fill.
The remaining members of the Board
are V. l. Spear OF Braintree, c. NJ. Wins
low of Brandon, j. l.. Hills of Burling-
ton and II. NJ. Arms of Springfield.
