The community in general was suddenly
shocked last Wednesday to hear of the sad
accident at Marshfield depot causing almost

| ing causing them to run few rods when
| they were thrown to the ground. 1t
| is supposed Mr.. Kimball was run over by
| the wagon as one side was crushed in and
| one arm torn by a chain. His body was
| freed from the ENHANCEMENT and picked
up nearly lifeless only breathing a few
| times. His remains were taken to the

The lawn party given by the Good Tenn

guests being present. On the lawn had
| been erected a tented roof, at one end of
which stage had been erected for literary
exercises The tent and stage was sur
| rounded with numerous spruces, torches,
| and Japanese lanterns which illumined the
lawn gayly and fantastcly. Decorations
Of flags, bunting and goldenrod added
| much to the attractiveness of the scenery.
The tennis court also figured for its place
| for games, etc, being nicely equipped for
| the occasion. So unique was the whole pic
| ture and 80 charming to the eye that snap
shots by kodaker were taken. Refresh
ments of cake, coffee, lemonade and ice
cream were served in abundance and all
passed off happily, good feeling pervading
the atmosphere and geniality flowing. Over
S12 was cleared. The lodge would tender
to Mr.. and Mrs. Gould their heartiest and
sincerest thanks for their kindness and
generosity. We are always assured of
good time when ever their doors are open
to the public as nothing is spared to make
it such. We would that many more such
people might be.
