NEWBURY.


Ford. formerly pastor of the M. E.
church in this place, is progressing in
the work. From the Lamoille Leader
printed at Morrisville, we find a very
interesting account of the camp meet
ing held at that place and quote the
conclusion of the article:
The evening sermon was by Mr. Ford,
and was powerful and searching, the
speaker following the dictates of con-
science and having no, fear OF adverse
criticism. To Mr. Ford is due much of
the success of the weeks meetings, for
the manner in which he conducted the
singing. Possessing a powerful voice
himself and understanding the art of
creating enthusiasm in his audience, the
music was a most enjoyable and helpful
part of the weeks program.
We were glad to see Rev. S. L. East
man, formerly principal and proprietor

The household of our former prin-
cipal, E. A. Shaw, was made happy on

1t is a matter of regret on the part |
of the people and genuine mourning on
the part of the pupils in the primary
department of the village school that
sickness prevents Miss Annie Guthrie
from taking her school, The directors
will place Annie's sister Martha in this
department for this term and school
will begin next Monday. The earnest
prayer from many a heart is for the
speedy recovery and return of Miss
Annie Guthrie. Miss Mary Smith,
thoroughly competent teacher will
take Miss Martha Guthrie's school on
Laton Hill. Miss Martha Guthrie is
teacher ofmuch experience and ability
and will do good work in the primary
school.

Many of our people attended the
annual visiting tournament at East
Corinth and had good time. Between

hawk, which seem to be let off stimuli
taneously, everybody got their moneys
worth.
