A town that has plenty of "sand" init,
and ingenuity to furnish for a nominal
compensation device to sap thepoorest
of the poor ought to be on the high road
to prosperity.
A lot of cattle broke into an enclosure
and dcvoured their masters and bene-
factors grain. When they had finished
they looked into the adjoining field and
saw couple of their number where they
belonged, and the herd beloved with
contempt because there were but two out
of mischief.
A suave appearing man gave quite a
small boy some advice concerning good,

Another boy met a lot OF showmen

Unless there is change from the pres
ent schedule on the G. 7. X. system, in
addition to the loss in passenger traffic,
the management will probably find its
revenue for carrying the mails considera-
bly, decreased. Next month occurs the
quadrennial weighing of mails carried by
the railroads by the government for the
purpose of estimating the amount to be
paid for that service, consequently if our
mail is sent by other routes, as we are
informed it is and will be under the pres.
ent schedule, there must certainly be q
great loss.

A very successful and enjoyable concert
and entertainment was given by local
talent for the benefit of Clyde River
Lodge, No. 46, B. of L. f.. last week
Wednesday night, which pleased a large

this for every selection was most heartily
applauded and encored. A programme
of uncommon interest was given and all
who took part contributed to the general
enjoyment.

The more the radical change in the
train service is discussed the more vexed
do men become in discussing it. We now
have but little accommodations, and
what we do have come at unreasonable
hours. The plan is suggested of having
a stage route to North Stratford and
have our mail come there by the Maine
Central and brought here by stage, or to
hurry up the building of the electric or
steam road to Newport and get mail and
other accommodations by that route.
The opposition to the present schedule
exists at all points east OF Island Pond.
The worst feature is that all our mails
are practically day later. Mail from
the central and southern parts OF our
county, all over the state and from Port
land, etc., instead of reaching us as here
tofore the evening of the day OF mailing
are now delayed several hours, which is
of the highest consequence to our pusi-
ness men. Under the old schedule bust
ness man could get letter from Boston
by the evening mail, answer it and mail
it before 9 O'Clock and it would be in
Boston by noon the next day. Now the
letter reaches here at 2.O5 a. M, instead
off As D. M, the evening previous, and
the merchant does not receive it until
or 7 O'Clock; his reply cannot leave I'm
iii noon, reaching Boston the next morn
ing. We are of the opinion that tn
Grand Trunk System has the desire tt
cater to its patrons, and if the matte
was properly brought before the man
ageinent some relief would be afforded.
