lessons in vocal music in this place
this winter. He will meet any who
would like to take vocal music lessons
at Mrs. A. @. JEWELS, next Wednes-

fine tenor voice himself, and of late
has been giving his time to music. He
has been in Boston under good tuition.
Call and see him and assist in getting
up class.
We publish an obituary notice of
Albert Clark, son Of DR.. E. w. Clark
of Derby. The death of Mr.. Clark,
untimely and unexpected, was sor-
row to many in this section who knew
him. He was young man of more
than average ability, and the pros
poets before him were seemingly very
bright. The writer saw him at school
last spring at the time of his success
full graduation and was pleased with
his high and honorable standing.
Some time before the elections came
off, George L. Norton and @. P. Jen-
ness, postmaster, bet a pumpkin
each on the result of the election in
New York State, the defeated party
agreeing to take a pumpkin and car
ry it by hand, either from the Norton
place to the post office, Or from the
post office to the Norton place, as the
result was. We do not hear that Mr..
Jenness has paid his forfeit. He has
lots of friends who will be glad to see
him carry his pumpkin.

given brief account of the repair
ing, building and other improvements
made in this village, the record show
ing steady and healthful growth.
The present year has not shown quite
so large a growth as the year 1898, but
it is creditable: The large tub factory
