 Girls! This is the last day of Lear Year, and it may be your last chance tc capture Canaan's bashful bachelors. Tn looking over the list of "Evangaline' bachelors" published in 1880, we find that of those who resided in this villag, all except four are either married ol dead matrimonial synonymous terms and those four are forlorn hope. But girls. take courage. there is younger and better crop of bachelors in tht market to-day and if 'Evangaline" wa. now in Canaan biographical sketches oi this younger generation of jolly bu bashful bachelors would be contributed to the NEWS. Only five of "Evanga lines" East Canaan bachelors are left but they also are forlorn hope. Mex week we will tell the boys about Evan gaines maidens of 1880. They are no younger than they were sixteen year ago but we cannot call them forlorl hope, for it is said that "you never cal tell what a woman will do."
