The memorial windows are in place in

been forwarded to the manufacturer for re-
pairs. The pews and carpets, which were
taken up for the purpose of cleaning, have
not yet been replaced. The services of last

probably those of next Sunday will be in
the same place. A full account of the
windows will be given later.
The farm and chattels belonging to the
F. II. Goodell estate were sold at auction
on Tuesday, c. F. ellison being the auc-
tioneer. A large company of buyers and
spectators were in attendance, the bid
ding was lively, and a large amount of
property was disposed of during the day at
good prices. The home farm and the
Wright farm were bid off by George Wins
low of Townshend, and a large pasture
and wood lot by F. l.. Pierce of Put
ney with the design doubtless of in
Guiding the timber thereon with that
bought last year from the Hall property.
A considerable part of the household furni-
ture was sold, as were the farming tools,
stock, hay, grain, etc. The best hay
brought $14 per ton, with an average of all
the hay and corn fodder of about $40.
Oats brought 35 cents per bushel and corn
on the ear 40 cents. A good five-year-old
colt was sold for $50, horse for $40 and
other animals for a smaller sum. Cows
brought from $22 to $50. Mr.. Goodell is
well satisfied with the result of the sale.
He expects to leave the vicinity as soon as
matters can be settled but is uncertain as
to what course he will take, or what employ
ment he will enter upon. He will proba-
bly, go to Atlanta, Ca, for the winter, where
a sister of Mrs. Goodells is living. The
people here are sorry to lose such good
citizens, but trust some one will be found
to take the place now left open.
