For the last two Sundays work has been
continued at the corn factory. The far
mers are busy drawing corn from West
moreland, Charlestown, etc. A large
amount of succotash has been canned re-
Gently and the factory seems the center of
industry in this vicinity.
This town is being we'll represented at
the three days fair held in Keene this
week. L. N. Hastings has taken down a
party of friends in his tallyho which has
been especially decorated for the purpose,
and Walpole grange has a part in the
parade entering an exhibit as grange,
with individual exhibits and entries also.
Oliver j. Hubbard, whose illness has
been previously mentioned, is at present
writing in very critical condition and but
grave hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Mr.. Hubbard's sisters have been summoned
also his brother John, a former resident
here but now living in Hendersonville
Much sympathy is expressed for the family
in their present trouble by their many
friends.
A good number was in attendance at the
grange Tuesday evening oflast week to hear
the discussion of the currency question, a
topic of general interest at present. The
discussion was opened by George G..
Wright whose remarks were bright and to
the point; he was followed by Mr.. Dwin-
nell and Edwin Guild, the other two
speakers appointed being absent. During
Mr.. Guilds address he was closely ques-
toned by some of his auditors but he was
able to support any and all OF his state
ments in a convincing and satisfactory
manner. The next meeting will be held
on Tuesday evening, October 6.
The service of the Endeavor society was
held on Sunday evening as usual, the sub
ject being Home Missions" The meet
ing was led by Edward S. Taggard, who,
after conducting the customary opening
exercises made few timely remarks, fol-
lowing which he read an article relative to
the subject, from the Christian Herald. 1t
was then voted to give Mrs. H. W. Hib-
bard, nee Mary G.. Davis, letter of
recommendation to the Y. P. S. c. E. of
| which she attends, in response to request
from her to that effect. Mrs. Hibbard
was very active in the society here and
the loss of her membership is gain to the
society there.
A telegram was received here Sunday
stating the death of Lou E. Fisher at the
New York hospital where she was placed
in July for treatment. 1t is 10 months
since Miss Fisher was so severely burned
and since then she has been constant in
valid and a great sufferer. She has re-
ceived treatment from the physicians here
in town and last year was at one time for
three months in the Elliot City hospital in
Keene. This summer through the kind
ness of Charles P. Rowland, she was first
taken to the Gouverneur hospital and
afterward removed to the New York hospi-
tai where her death occurred. Encouraging
reports regarding Miss Fishers condition
have been received during the past few
weeks, but we understand that the direct
cause of her death was endo carditis, as
she seems to have had heart trouble also.
Lou E. Fisher was born in Weston, VT,
May 81, 1879 but has lived nearly all her
life in this town. She was bright, active
girl and general favorite among her
circle of friends. A great deal of SYM
pathy and interest has been felt for her
and her family during such heavy
affliction and it seems sad ending to SO
young life. She leaves mother, two
sisters and brother to mourn her loss.
The remains have been brought here for
burial.
