The request and the suggestion Of
the trustees that the people of the vii
lage commence the work Of Sticking
up and Improvement for the coming
year is a wise one, and we doubt not
the citizens of the village will do more
than heretofore in this line. Why
not? We can not afford to be slovenly
or shiftless in this matter.
Union Fast Day services were held
at the Methodist church on Friday, by
Rev. f. W. Lewis, assisted by Rev.Mr

and interesting sermon on some of

A large number from this village
and vicinity visited Carl Farley's SUI
gar place on Friday last and helped
him sugar off. They report good su-
gar and a cordial welcome. There
must have been a sufficient quantity,
we Judge, inasmuch as many brought
away lasses on their coat sleeves. It
was estimated that Mr.. Farley had
over one hundred and sixty guests
that day. The young people extend
thanks to Mr.. Farley.
There was large attendance at the
open lodge meeting in Good Temp
lars hall on Wednesday evening, and

much credit in reading, speaking and
music The lodge is in a fourishing
condition and new members are being

A MONITOR subscriber in Groton
writes us in regard to the missing ped
der, who was murdered or who per-
shed in the wilderness south of that
village sometime in February last.
Two men started to go through the
woods on cold day ,only one of whom
has been seen since. The friends of
5he missing man have been there and
4 thorough search Of the woods will
soon be made. They were both for
eigners and it is feared that Abbott,
the missing one, was murdered.
A friend sends US q Hongkong, Chi
IA, daily paper which is a curiosity in
print, makeup, etc. The price is only
$50 year, but this may be accounted
for from the fact that it contains no
and no face pictures
Of sarsaparilla or celery compound
victims. We notice one good custom
that prevails in the city, which is not
ed as follows: 1.-TWO we'll known ma
i've loafers in the city, long marked
1own as nuisances, on account Of
1uarrels and political discussions,
which they are constantly getting up,
nave been caught and punished by a
thousand blows with the open BAN
300 and a spell Of exposure in q
,angue on the street." Some civil
zed countries might get a point here.

nere at present is very good: The
Peerless Company have orders for
jwo months more, with more orders
They are increasing their
1elp. The new tub factory starts up
With about thirty men employed and
great call for tubs at present. The
Manufacturing 90. have
work to keep their usual help en-
loved. The ]. w. MurkIand machine |
