thirty of the neighbors and friends of Mr.. o.

Methodist divine has failed to arrive on the
charge of Unity and Troy. Has he been cap
tured by any of those war vessels, OF where
is he?. Mrs. Vannie Garcelon Whitney is
having very successful season in her mil
linery business. Elmer Bagley, who broke
his collar bone and dislocated his shoulder,
! is quite comfortable, but it will be some time
before he will be ready for work. 1t would
be much better tor the young men of Troy,
to quit cycling for pleasure on Sunday.
They would certainly find it far more profit
able in more ways than one. Farmers are
nearly done with planting, and are earnestly
| wishing for rain.
