Notwithstanding the extremely
hot weather Luciers' Ministries had
good audience Monday evening. They
give an excellent entertainment, and
when here again will have full
house.
An interesting service of patriotic
character was held at the church

marks by the pastor, short addresses

Mcfarland, Noyes and Manning.
School in district No. 16, taught
by Miss Fannie Cheney, closed last
Friday with a picnic, which was well
attended and proved an enjoyable
event. Master Clarence Day evident
ly was the best scholar of the term,
having no marks whatever. Arthur
Perry, Flora Perry, Bottle Sherwin,
Eva Jones, Nelson Jones and Maud
Magoon had no absent marks.
A disgraceful scene, in which a
certain town official uncOrked the
vials of his hatred and spite and
poured forth foul and blasphemous
language in unlimited quantities,
occurred in the most public part of
the village last Thursday evening.
While it may have been entertain

graceful and insulting to ladies and
passers-by who We're compelled to
hear it. We hope the good reputa-
tion of our village will not again be
sullied with a like exhibition.
The railroad commissioners have
made a report regarding theremoval
of the depot at this place. They
recommend that it be moved from
the present location to the northerly
side of the track and that it be done
by Dec. 1 next. This decision has
been reached after much persistency,
and TO Col. Sawyer isgreat credit due
for bringing it about. He has had
the matter in charge for several
years and his keeping everlastingly
at it /" has at last secured a decision
in favor OF the community. We have
no doubt that the railroad Off
cials will put the depot in good shape
and give this place as good station
accommodations as other points on
the road now have. So much has
been said and done regarding this
proposed transfer of the depot that
we. give the, commissioners report in
full elsewhere.
