GRAFTON.

OF MRS. CALVIN FORBUSH
The funeral Of Mrs. Calvin Forbush,
who died Tuesday morning of old age, was
held at her late home, the residence Of
Mrs. Willard Wheeler, at 2.30 Thursday
afternoon. Rev. Lyman NJ. Greenman
delivered the funeral sermon--a touching,
highly attributive eulogy and most befit-
ting the last solemn rites over one OF such
an age. The sons and daughters of Mrs.
ForbuSh, who reside in the states Of New
Y ork and Illinois, were present. The flo
raj tributes were very few, the members
of the family preferring as plain and quiet
q funeral as possible. The remains were
Riverside cemetery at 3.45 O'Clock. Mrs.
Forbush was the Oldest resident In the
centre, and the only person in the township
of Grafton who surpasses her in number
of years is the venerable mother of VIII
liam II. Barker of North Grafton, who is
very near the century mark.
NEATIR IN TOWN AGAIN.
C. N. Neahr of Gloversville arrived in
town on the o'clock train Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Neahr's principal object on
this trip is to show the citizens of Graf

large number of her young friends at her

'Mother Goose Rhymes" was the base of
all the fun, and many of those who at

ing many compliments.

CARS WERE LATE.
The heavy coating Of ice on the trolley
wires and on the track wrought havoc
with the running time on the Worcester
and Suburban, Thursday morning. The
light fall of snow in the night and the
heavy coating of sleet it received before
the cars were fairly started, made a
combination that was hard to beat as a
non-conductor. The first car down did
not return until 20 minutes to 3 this
morning instead Of 10 minutes to Z, its
usual trip. Several people who ride to
and from their work were late in con-
sequence. They are angry at what they
consider bad management on the part
Of the road in not running the sweeper
and clearing off the snow before the ice
got set on the tracks. The salt car was
not run out until after s. The men were
running way off their schedule all day
on the entire line.
NEW POWER STATION PIPE.
Employees Of ]. P. Ashley, plumber,

the five-inch pipe for the new engine at

THE NEW ENGLAND FAIR,
The Usual Reduced Rates to the Annual
Meeting in Boston.

The annual meeting of the New Eng
land Agricultural Society win be held
in Wesleyan Hall, Bromfield street, Bos-
tom, Tuesday, Feb. 1. at Ii o'clock in the
forenoon. In accordance with the usual
custom, railroad tickets for the round
trip will be sold to members of the So
ciety, of whom there are several hum
dred in this city, over the Boston and
Albany Railroad at the reduced price
Of 81. IS. This year. however, they can
only be obtained from the president of
the Worcester Agricultural Society.
Warren c. Jewett, and it's secretary,
John 3. Bowker.
The annual meeting always includes
a free dinner at one of the Boston hotels
at the expense of the New England so
ciety, and that, taken with the reduced
fare, offers an inducement that always
calls out a large attendance. 1t Is ex-
pected that there will this year be some
interest attaching to the selection OF
the place at which to hold the annual
fair Worcester will, OF course, not be
a competitor, The local society has had
enough OF trying to run big fairs for
the present. It Is understood that Port
land would like to try 1t again this
year, and that agricultural societies In
Lowell, Manchester and Nashua will
compete for the privilege Of entertain-
ing tine New England society.
