The Randolph HERALD AND NEWS se-
lects Col. Robert J. Kimball OF Randolph
as one OF the delegates to the Republican
convention to be held in st. Louis. Col.
Kimball was born and educated in Ran
dolph and commenced business life in
Burlington, where he renamed several
years, and represented the former town
in the legislature, where his ability was
clearly apparent. There Is no doubt that
he would represent his constituents In a
manner which would be highly satisfac-
tory, in case OF his election. The only
objection Democrats could have to him Is
that he takes rather too active and infiu-
entail part in helping the Republican
party not only in this state, but elsewhere.
He has large acquaintance among men
OF the various states Of the Union, and
would have good deal OF influence 10 the
national convention II elected delegate.

scene Of brilliant social gathering, at
which fifty young people were present.
Games occupied the early partof the even
ing, and then came the cake walk. Mr.,
J. P. Clifford, Miss Mary Dubois and Miss
Mary Tewksbury posed as judges Of this
last, and solemnly decreed that, for grace
fulness Of gait, Mr.. Fred Curtis and Miss
Grace Sanford simply took the cake. The
prize, on being cut and distributed
among the participants Of the walk, was
found to contain as miscellaneous q col
lection OF articles as is often found in
dish of boarding house hash. Refresh
ments Of ice cream and cake were served,
and at ten o'clock dancing began, very
fine music being furnished by Miss Abbie
Clark, pianist, and Mr.. Fred Beedle, vio-
linist. The costumes of the ladies were
strikipgly pretty, and the party, as d
whole, was quite an enjoyable affair.

D. Larnson, D. M. Clough, w. G. Brooks,
w. G. LaRoc, of Bethel. Darling and
Darling OF Chelsea are counsel for the
bank, and the case will probably be tried |
ct the June term OF court. The note In |
question is one Of those that were injoined |
last June, but the injunction was upon
Reynolds, to whom the note was given,
and not upon the bank, at present holding
the note. Besides this one, there are two /
other notes out, each for thousand dol /
lars. The horse Is somewhere in
New Hampshire. The note held by the bank

claims that II was purchased OF H. p. Rev
nolds Of New York before it was decreed
that the note was void, and without, on
the part OF the bank officials, any knowI-
edge Of fraud. 1t remains to be seen
whether payment OF the note can be en-
forred or mt
