Bellows Falls Locals.


Two basket ball teams have been organ
lied by the Y. M. G. A. boys with Harley
Chandler and Ed Blanchard captains.
Rev. w. r. Baldwin of Saxtons River
conducted Sunday service in the Y. nj.
c. A. rooms and gave an excellent address
"Too hungry to eat says one man. An
other says there is no trade and therefore
there is no use in advertising to get it.
Sensible arguments, aren't they?"
"Ned' Murphy, the noted temperance
advocate, comes to town next week. This
will be an opportunity to hear one of the
great platform orators of the day.
Two new brass signs placed on either
side of the entrance to Wales cash store
serve to direct the purchasing public to
Mr.. Wales establishment and the fine stock
of goods he is offering this season.
The Bellows Falls orchestra announce
in another column that they are prepared
to make engagements to play at balls, con-
certs, etc. We understand that this or
chestra has given very good satisfaction
this season.
Miss Helen Guild pleasantly entertained
16 young lady friends at her home on the
Terrace Monday evening. Hearts was the
game of amusement, refreshments were
served, and the young people fortunate
enough to be present report most enjoy
able time.
At the meeting of the state medical
society held in St. Johnsbury last week,
DR.. E. S. Allbee was elected auditor and

ashore Acres" tomorrow evening. A
very excellent company has been engaged
and the production will be as nearly per-
feet as it is possible to have it. George
w. Wilson has been especially engaged
for the part of Nathaniel Berry.
In speaking of the recent rainy weather
which has been so general over the coun-
try, it seems from letters received here
from Ireland that the crops have suffered
severely in that country from so much rain
to such an extent, too, that some of them
are total losses. Farmers have not finished
storing their hay and much Of it has spoiled,
some of their crops have decayed and the
condition of things indicates hard winter.
DR.. R. G. Flowers lecture in the opera
house Sunday evening drew good
audience and was much enjoyed even if the
arguments did not carry conviction. He
held the close attention of his hearers for
two hours. The doctor had big run Of
patients at Towns hotel Monday.
S. L. Daggett on behalf Of the second
Bellows Falls Aqueduct company has built
a strong, tight board fence in front of the
company's springs on the Saxtons River
road SO as to keep loafers and marauders
off the premises. He says that the first
man who puts an advertisement thereon
without paying for the privilege will find
himself in hot water.
The Ladies' Union of the Congregational
church will serve supper in the vestry
Thursday evening from 6 to 7.30. The
following is the bill of fare, escalloped oys-
tiers, veal loaf, cream pie, raised dough
nuts, cake, etc. Aunt Jerusha Dow is very
sorry not to be able to show her family al
bum, but finds herself unable to do so.
She promises to be present some evening
in the near future.
Part of conversation heard in Bellows
Falls. 81 need two or three strong girls
as clerks in my business, but don't know
where ] can get them; there don't seem to
be any in Bellows Falls, most of them are
either sick or pretend they are" If true
this is sad commentary on the efficiency
and usefulness of the young ladies of this
vicinity. There was time when feeble
ness and lassitude in young ladies was con-
sidered characteristic of good training, but
this is no longer the case. The young
lady who is now considered capable, Of
whom much is expected, who in fact is
popular, is the young lady who is strong
physically as well as intellectually.
