The graphaphone was the best and
most destinct that has ever been in
our town. The picture of the battle
ship, Maine was very good but the
picture of the morning toll and love
in the dark seemed to take all the
applause, of the audience. But we
think the best pictures were the farm

life-like that one of our young ladies
jumped from her seat, she thought
the hose cart was going to run over
her. The audience was well pleased.

his team shod, while waiting his
turn the smith made a number of
irreverent remarks about the U. S.
navy. After calling the smith every
thing but gentleman, the butcher
hitched up his team and went to Du-
shore and had them shod. This is
patriotism with vengence. Who
would not be an American?
