1t is with great regret that we announce
the suspension of the firm Of A.W.Iewks-
bury e Sons OF this place, and the volun-
tary petition of the firm into insolvency
A meeting OF the Burlington creditors was
held last week, and an attorney was sent
here on Saturday to put the firm into IN
solyency; but after conterring with the
Messrs. TeWksbury and some CT our busl-
| ness men, proceedings were withheld ana
another meeting was agreed upon and held
| with the Burlington creditors IN tnat city
| Tuesday At this meeting, the analrs OF
| the firm were examined into,and the ABOVE
course seemed TO be the only one 10 pur-
| sue In this way, all the creditors VIII
/ share and share alike in the assets, ana II
/ will prevent all unnecessary expense py
I attachments of individual creditors, or
4 any other summary proceedings. PEND
inc these proceedings, he burlington
creditors, to whom the firm owes more
/ than half OF all its unsecured indebted
I ness have asked Hon. VIM. II. DuBols 70
1 take charge OF the property and continue
/ the business sufficiently to realize the pest
/ results for all the creditors. IL Is greatly
\ TO be hoped that later on some arrange
\ ment can be made to continue the Dusl-
/ ness in part at least; as 1t IS very lmpof
/ tant in the interests OF this place, that
/ the business should be carried on 10 some
/ way.
/ Children's Day was appropriately OBJ
/ served al the Baptist, Cong1 and christ.
| ian churches last Sunday. Ferns and
/ wild flowers decorated the Cong church,
/ and the carols OF the birds mingled with
| those OF the children. The service Tor the
/ day was entitled"The Child in the Midst,
/ and opened with the TIE Deum rendered by
the choir. REGULATIONS were given by
/ A lina HnO6- MARY
| Crandall, Ida George and May Hodges
while "Three Children's Days" was very
nrettily recited by Franklin Salisbury,
Bernice McCollom and Katie Montgom-
cry. The exercises by the primary class,
under the direction of Miss Jessie church,
was especially interesting, and the mower
service, led by Miss Winifred Richmond,
and the exercise "Consider the Lilies,
by Miss Inez Abbottis class, were also
worthy OF especial mention. The chill
dren's choir sang finely, and the solo by
Miss Nettie Robbins received many cotn-
pliments. The Children's service at the
Chistian church was considered the pest
in many years, and the church itself, with
its tasteful decorations of flowers and pot
ted plants looked like the entrance IN
to fafryland. Three anthems were pleas
ingly rendered by the choir, but the spe'
cial service, on the subject OF missions,
was in charge OF the smaller members OF
the Sunday school. The salute was nrst
given by six little girls, and following IL
came Rotations by Stella Watson. Hor-
tense Peters, Geneve Lamson, Lucy IeWks-
bury. Lula Smith Josie Sault, Roy Smith,
| Carrie Erskine and Winnie Mann. There
was alsoa very pretty exercise on mowers
: by four little girls, and one OF the most
pleasing Rotations was the well deliver
ed selection by Miss Louise Chase. That
the different parts OF the service were so
! well sustained by the children, was due
in a great part to the time and care ex-
pended by their superintendent, DR.. =. "
Blanchard. Evergreen, wilo and cut
flowers decked the Baptist church in non
. or OF Children's Day, and "Christ, Oui
King" was the title of the special service

The music was entirely by the chlldrer
whose singing gave evidence OF care
full training. "Flower Faces" as given by
the primary class was especially good ,anC
the two songs by Bessie Lewis, HAITI,
i. Hayward ana Ethel Loveland were muci
| commended. 1.-THE Greeting" was accept
e ably offered by Bessie Lewis, and the fol
: lowing Rotations were also well deliver
