Four carloads of paving stones reached
town Monday The PAYERS were to begin

will be placed on Atkinson, Burt and South
streets.
The Fitchburg Railroad has sent out its
we'll gotten out pamphlet on "Summer Tx
cursions, "for 1896 via Hoosac Tunnelroute,
giving attractive excursions for the tourist
to the picturesque and popular resorts OF
New England, New York and Canada,
with map of territory covered by tours.
The Fall Mountain Co. have placed
three new single carbon lights in the square
and four in the mills by way of expert
ment. Those replaced had two carbons.
1t is claimed that the new lights will burn
longer and will be less expensive, as less
carbon is used.
The following was sent in from Parkhill,
N. H.: 1.-The concert given at the May
festival Of the Congregational church OF
this place by G. L. Barber and his choir,
together with the orchestra, was most de-
lightful. Everybody is enthusiastic over
it. No musical entertainment here has
given SO much genuine pleasure for long
time. 1t was real satisfaction to meet
with SO many who have willing spirit to
give helping hand whenever the occasion
comes.n G. II. +.
The local g. A. r. has extended an in
vitation to the pupils of the public schools
to march in the line on Memorial day.
The scholars will probably march only
from the square to the cemetery, not being
expected to march back. Our young peo-
pie are reminded that this is tribute
which they may render to the dead and the
living. 1t is well, occasionally, to express
our patriotism by some little service like
this, and every parent and pupil ought to
be not only willing but glad to respond to
the invitation of the old soldiers.
Apropos of the meeting of democrats at
Montpelier to-day, it will be interesting to
note that in 1856, the first year that the
democratic party had a state ticket from
Vermont, H. E. Stoughton Of this place
was one of the delegates to the convention
at Cincinnati; in 1860 this same delegate
went to Charlestown, S. G. i; in 1872 James
H. Williams of this place was among the
delegates to 60 to Baltimore, Md, and he
was also chosen in 1876 and 1880, making
three terms for the latter as delegate to the
national convention and two for Stoughton.
1t seems that the item that 81. S. Hayes
is the local representative of the United
Press and w. G. Belknap of the Associated
Press" published short time ago was mis-
leading to some. Mr.. Hayes represents
the same association that he has since
1874, the New England associated press
This association is a part of greater or
ganization known as the United Press
which is union of several associated press
associations throughout the country. 1.-The
Associated press" represented by Mr..
Belknap is an organization with headquar-
tiers in Chicago and branch offices all over
the country.
