TENTS Something really ought to be done

/ The Methodist conference has returned
Rev. W. n. Roberts to the charges of West
Randolph and Bethel Gilead, in both OF
which places, during his brief pastorate,
he has labored very abundantly. Rev. L.
l.. Beeman is also continued as presiding
elder of the Montpelier district, but Rev.
F.W Ham bin last year in Waterbury, has
been assigned to Enosburgh Falls.
The attendance at the Christian church
the last three Sunday evenings has aver
aged 300 people, all of whom seemed
deeply impressed by the stirring sermons
preached by the pastor, the Rev. q. w.
Morrow, on 'Why Do Not More Men At
tend Chureh?p and ''The Manliness of
Christianity" These are attractive sub
jects and they were presented to the in
terested congregations in an attractive
manner.
The millinery rooms OF Mrs. e. NJ.
Bickford are well stocked this season
with the best the market affords, and the
marvelously pretty creations in lace and
straw, visible on every hand, appeal with
almost irresistible force to the desire
strong in the heart OF every daughter Of
Eve for ga love OF bonnet The flow
ers are so perfect in shape and color as
fairly to delude one into the belief that
they emit a gentle perfume, while ribbons
OF every shade are artfully disposed in
the available places 10 ensnare the tickle
fancy Of the buyer.
''The MUSES. in Randolph" is the title of
a volume Of poems which is being issued
from the job printing Office of W. S. :.
Buck by the Ladies' Aid OF the Methodist
church The book is to contain all the
poems delivered at the Poetical entertain
ment which the ladies gave a few weeks
ago, with an opening canto by Miss
Blanche Durham Of Rochester, and an ep-
ilogue By the Rev. w. y. Roberts. As one
OF the poets has it,
1.-THE muses. on milk carts and baker carts rode,
And Randolph with poetry literally flowed
No matter what one would fain say or do
II was certain 10 jim. lc before h got through"
And, contrary TO the general run OF po-
etry, IL jingled TO some purpose, as the
treasurer OF the Ladies' Aid can show.
This publication will soon be placed be-
fore the public and will doubtless meet
with a ready sale.
