ago, by diligence and thrift he has
done better than those of us who re-
manned at home. Mr. Brock repre-
presents his election district in the
state legislature and is an all round
square man.
Mrs. j. FL. and Miss Minnie Clark
of the Highland House, Bethlehem, N
H., are guests of JAS l.. and Mrs

That supper served by the Chords of
Creation last Friday evening in the
Congregational church parlors was a
culinary gem. Your correspondent SO
far overcame his habitual diffidence
that he was partaker thereof. Mr..
r. W. Chamberlin presided over the
oyster kettle, M. c.. Knight the coffee
pot, Dea. johnson head waiter, Il. G.
Keyes, F. E. Prichard, A. w. Silsby
and Irving johnson aides-de-camp
with the rank of Major-do. mo, F. E,
Kimball kitchen colonel, FL. W.
Bailey No 2, drum major. A tour of
inspection revealed the fact, as adver.
tised that it was a masculine affair
from chief to bottle washer. Harry
Hubbard sold tickets amounting to
about $50, Harry was selected for
this position, to inspire confidence in a
doubling public, on account of his
cOsmopolite reputation as connoisseur
of pie and large assortment of other
picnic edibles The tables were neatly
arranged, the service O. X. and pat
rons happy. Oysters cooked two
ways (stewed and raw and well cook
ed too, coffee fit for saints, rolls, cold
meats, cakes of many varieties and
doughnuts, Such doughnuts! gen.
uine Anglo Saxon doughnuts. Our
table witnessed the arrival and depart
ure of several large invoices of that
long twisted brand of old fashioned
doughnuts said to be the handiwork
of Schuyler Stebbins, Esq. In this
salutatory the "Lords of Creation" did
themselves proud, and established
precedent which will roll down the
ages to the glad refrain of a well fed
people.
The winter term of the primary de-
partment closed last Friday afternoon
with rhetorical exercises in the Semi. |
nary Hall. Quite number of visitors

by the little ones. Miss Gretta Moore
the musical instructor demonstrated |
.her-excellent work in this department. |
Miss Florence Patterson the teacher
has done faithful work in the primary
school and the conduct of her pupils
on this occasion must have been Just |
cause of pride to her.

An article appeared in the warning /;
"To see if the town will instruct select g
men CT road commissioner to purchase
snow rollers and provide more and =
better watering troughs." We think
the sentiment is strongly in favor of
an affirmative vote on these questions.
