1t is not too early to begin agitation for
a lecture course the coming winter, II we
are to have one. 1t Is now several years
since Randolph had such a course. We
have plenty OF entertainment in lighter
vein during the winter, but little that in
structs or benefits. Ii would not be diff
ficult to secure series OF entertainments
that would both please and instruct.
Such things have an uplifting influences
in community. Let us see what re-
Spouse there win be to this call. As
many as would like such course and
would patronize 1t, notify the HERALD.
Certain persons who do not disclose
their identity have prepared letter d.
rected against the candidacy OF VIM. b.
Wall for town representative. 1t sets
forth that Mr.. Wall has been a Democrat,
which everybody knows Among other
matters rather distantly connected with
the present issue, the letter seeks to stir
up the old town bitterness, which has
long since given way to an era OF good
feeling that few care to see disturbed. The
letter is promoted, in part, at least, by a
Democrat Of this village, though 1t pre-
tends to emanate from a Republican. II
is said to be intended for circulation OUT
side of this village only. Its effect can be
discounted in advance.
