Mrs. r. 5. Gernon returned from
her visit to New York last Friday.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Slayton were
called to Worcester Friday of last
week by the sudden death of Mrs.
SIayton's mother at that place.
"Will Put" christened his new shop
last Thursday. at which time and
place the sound of a hammer on a
brand new anvil might he heard.
few DAYS since a little tot, on see
ing celery eaten for the first time,
whispered to her mother, Mama,
please may | have some of those
flowers, too?"
The chicken pie supper last Wed
nesday evening drew like a mustard
plaster; for once the managers were
obliged to turn away unfed some of
the many who came hungry. A
handsome sum was realized.
Sheriff Stevens hasn't told US, but
we strongly suspect the bathtub be-
ing placed in the Jail building will be
largely utilized in an effort to see
what soap and water will do towards
cleansing the soiled characters of
some of those placed in his charge.
The Odd Fellows, under special cir
cumstances and by special vote, con-
ferred three degrees on a candidate
Friday evening of last week. There
was large attendance and much in
terest manifested in the work. The
winter campaign has been fairly in
augurated and it is expected that
from now on there will be much
activity within the Lodge. Let it be
said here that Sterling Lodge of Odd
Fellows ranks high among the lodges
of the state.
Keller & Co., our enterprising
hardware dealers, have several plumb

hands for fall delivery. just at pres

tin-roofed and also the bank build

while the plumbing contracts for the
Child & Waite houses, the Page block
and other places have been given

A handsome new Prouty job print
ing press has just been placed in the
printing office here. We may say
without undue boasting that our
office is one of the best and most
thoroughly equipped in the state,
and we are prepared to turn out all
kinds of printing that in quality will
be found second to the output of no
office in the state. We do not adver-
tise to do printing for less than cost ;
we do claim to do it for as little
money as is compatible with good
workmanship and good material. If
you have been annoyed by the quail
ty of paper, by the mistakes in print,
and by the general slovenly appear
ance of work done for you by the
"below cost" and cheap printer, try
us with an order. If we fail to please
you, it will be our fault. We guar.
antee satisfaction.
Fire alarm was sounded last We'd
nesday afternoon shortly after 2
o'clock. Senator Hulburd walking
dignifiedly along grip in hand was
for the nonce startled from his usual
serenity. Fire fire! !" rang in every
crevice of active brain. He dropped
the grip, rushed pell nell into Pages
Office, grabbed the fire extinguisher
and disappeared like an infant cy-
clone in the direction of the supposed
confagration. By the time the
common people began to assem-
BILE Roger returned, his erstwhile
high and Skinny collar limp, necktie
awry, perspiration dripping from his
massive brow and wearing the air Of
disappointed martyr. Anxious in
quiry elected the information that a
keg of nails at Strong & Woods
caught afre and they were afraid
the nails would burn before they
could put the keg out. Real cause Of
the excitement was an empty barrel
small children, forbidden matches.
