Mr.. Walbridge, who has been getting
material together for an illustrated and
| historical edition for this paper, has his
work nearly completed and we hope to
| get the cuts for the portraits, buildings,
scenery, etc., without serious delay, when
we shall get the edition out. 1t promises
| to be a very good one. We expect about
eighty personal sketches of present insti-
tutions and living men, beside much in
teresting matter pertaining to the town.
| We hope to make it worth the expense
| and labor put into it. It is not expected
| to be a paying thing to the publishers, but
| it ought to be an acceptable and interest
| ing thing to every citizen of the town and
| all who have been or are in any way con-
nected with it.
Rev. S. B. Ourrier, elected chaplain of
the House of Representatives, we suppose
to be the S. B. Currier who was pastor of
the Methodist church of this place in 1885
SO at the time the new church was built.
He was in poor health at the time from
the effects of several bullet wounds and
other injuries, and soon after became
nearly helpless. He left Richford, where
he had spent some time in trying to re-
gaiu his health, for Florida in a helpless
and distressing condition. After reaching
that state he took a hot springs treat
nent and gradually improved, but the use
and recovery of his limbs was very slow.
Ge SO improved in the course of time as to
be able to return to this State, where of
late he has been preaching to some ex-
tent. His friends in this town and county
will be pleased to learn that he is able to
perform the duties of chaplain
One of our Party Prohibition friends
has composed the following which he
would like to see in print Inasmuch as
the meter is baby broken we let it jingle
Joshua of old, so we have been told.
chose s'the good part'' rather than gold
So for the good of our cause, let US vote
for the man, who WILL lead us straight
through our Joshua can. For the good
times coming we'll pray and we''ll wait,
when Joshua Lowering will take US
through straight. We have no grudge
against Mckinley, but his party is rotten;
it upholds the rum power, whose gains
are i'll gotten; to the horrors of rum it is
deaf and it is dumb; it feasts on the
graves Of the victims of rum. A hundred
thousand poor victims of drink every year
find their places in HI through its use, so
we hear. Then let us be bold like Joshua
of old, and choose prohibition rather than
gold. To save souls from perdition, We'll
vote for the man, who will lead the right
way as Josh. lowering can; though we
stand all alone we viii vote the right way,
which will come when Christ's people
vote as they pray" AS
