The Rebekah degree was conferred
Tuesday evening on several candi.
dates by Charity Lodge, and after
the hard work of the evening was
gotten through with, light refresh-
ments were served.
The types made it appear that G.
S. Page bought a calf pasture last
week at the auction sale of the Keller
real estate for $275. The price paid
was $275.00, while Hiram Bishop
instead of getting his piece for 1856,
paid $455.0O.
Judge Sherwin has passed the con-
valescent stage of recovery so far
that he is now able to be out quite a
bit. One day recently we noticed him
busy in his garden, and with his
many other friends we hope he may
keep on gaining in health.
II. A. Noyes has returned from
New York, where he has been taking
a course in law at Columbia College.
Mrs. A. L. Noyes, who during her
sons absence has been making her
home with Mrs. Small, her sister, has
again opened her residence on Eden
street.
Fred Lilley is in Lancaster, n. H.,
this week with carload of the LilleJ
farm and lumber wagons. Next week
he will be at Woodstock, Vt. The
Lilleys make the best wagon on the
market, and they are letting people
know it through the medium of
printers ink in liberal quantities.
Naturally their business is steadily
growing.
We have noticed the genial and
ever hustling Orville Reed on the
streets lately. He has an eye on the
Keller buildings, which are to be
moved in as many different directions
as there were different purchasers.
Orville is master at this business
and while we don't know that he has
closed any contracts, yet we will
wager he gets his share of the work.
The Board of Trustees met Tues
day morning to organize and trans
act other business. E. C. White was
elected chairman. The matter of
special rates for Browns livery sta
BILE lights and also for the Natl Bank
was discussed among other matters,
but definite action was deferred until
the next meeting of the board, which
occurs Monday evening of next week.
j. /. Stevens was appointed. Supt. of
Streets to succeed himself
To the great surprise of R. S. Beard
iand his estiHa5le wifa, Numerous
friends took possession of their cosy
residence last Friday, reminding
them that it was their 25th wedding
anniversary. The afternoon and
evening were pleasantly spent. Some
valuable and useful gifts were pre-
sented the host and hostess, after
which their friends departed, greatly
regretting that so enjoyable an oc-
casion must so soon end.
Fortunately the people of this To-
cality are not frequently troubled by
the appearance of tramps. On Sun
day last, however, one of this class of
"hobos" passed through the village.
He requested food to stop his gnaw-
ing hunger, and was given plenty.
At the lower end of Main street he
was seen to take from a paper bag,
articles of wholesome food and throw
them spitefully away and the bag
after them. Evidently this fellow was
over epicurean in his tastes and moth
ing but the best would do. We
would be far from urging that it
is bad habit to give food to a
tramp, for to feed the hungry" is
proper, but perhaps it is unwise to
load one with a sackful of provisions.
