This famous minstrel attraction comes to
the Bellows Falls opera house this evening.
Their great naval first part is new and

minstrel organizations. They bill like a
circus and travel in two elegant vestibule
private cars, the finest in the show world
Mr.. Henry was in Bellows Falls two
years ago and was welcomed by one of the

Visit of the District Deputy

The visit OF Dennison Cowles of Brattle-
boro. district deputy grand master, to the
Masonic lodges of the place Thursday and
Friday evenings proved an important and
interesting occasion. The Lodge of the
Temple worked the first degree Thursday
evening and King Solomon's Lodge the
third degree Friday evening and both
lodges were complimented by the district
deputy for the commendable manner in
which the work was done.
After the work Friday evening the mem
bers to the number of over 100 gathered
in the dining room Of Towns hotel for a
we'll prepared and well served banquet
Visiting delegations were present from
Springfield, Chester, Alstead and Brattle-
boro, but most of the visiting brothers we're
obliged to leave before the banquet owing
to the lateness of the hour. The program
as given in last weeks issue Of the TIMES
was carrie out to the delight and profit Of
all. Landlord Bowtell was warmly COM
pIimented on the success of the banquet,
and w. A. Truax, who donated the menus
was given vote of thanks. The evening
passed pleasantly indeed, and the opinion
was several times expressed that social
gatherings like this must prove of much
benefit both to the lodges nd to the mem
bers individually.

The Junior Dance.

The Junior dance last Thursday evening
in Union ball proved delightful socia
occasion. There was splendid music,
a good attendance and enjoyment for all
The ball was lastly decorated in scarlet
and white, the class colors, and mirrors
were arranged in the windows in the rear
with pleasing effect. The stage was pref.
tily banked. Beginning at $50 Beedle's
orchestra gave concert which is highly
spoken of by those present. During the
hours of dancing between 40 and so couples
we're on the floor. Refreshments Of ice
cream and cake we're served to all. The
dance programs we're hand decorated by
Miss Marion Wilson and bore the pretty
device of two flags, one in scarlet and
white, the class colors, and the other in
purple and white, the school colors. the
flag sticks and 'O1 being in gilt. The
chaperones were Mrs. L. Gates Hadey,
Mrs George H. Bsbbtt Mrs. d. l.. San
ford, Miss Louise Flint, Mrs. H, P. Ban
croft, and Mrs. 4. II. Allbee.
Besides passing an enjoyable evening
the class made well financially. Over sos
was taken at the door, and the net amount
going into the class treasury is about S25.
The class expect to give two or three more
assemblies during the winter and the high
standard of Thursday night will surely not
detract from the interest in any program
which may be arranged in the future.

THAT FLAGSTAFF AGAIN.
A Boston Party Erected the Flagstaff Ina,
 Gave the Town its Name.

The following items are from the Pick and Drill, and are republished to show their inaccuracy:
 Bob, Kennedy, formerly of Pres colt, but at present in Johannesburg, South Africa, was one of the party who celebrated the Centennial Fourth of July in the San Francisco mountains, where the present town of Flagstaff is located, but was then an uninhabited forest. In their celebration of the e,eni, Il member of the party climbed young pine tree and cutting the branches Troni it, formed hagpOle, from which Old Glory was unfurIed. It was from this incident that the town of Flagstaff derived its name. Ex.
 The tree Was large oue being about eighteen inches in diameter, and yet stands-if not cut dowH-abOut 300 yards west of the present town of Flag staff near Antelope Spring. In 1882 remnant of flag, or piece of some sort of cloth, still waved from the top of that tree. Col. Harry Reed started the first newspaper at this point. and named it ''The Flagstaff Flag" This was shortly after the grading of the A. X P. Railroad passed there.-Pick and Drill
 The following is the true story of the raising of the Flagstaff. The Sun has frequently published the story, an1 kuow republishes it for the information of those who do not know the facts:
 A few days before the Fourth of July, 1876. party of settlers on their way
The Coconino sun., 1899-04-29

from Boston, Mass, to Prescott, Ariz., were camped at T. F. McMillans cor. ral, near where the spring on what is now known as John Clark's ranch, just north of town, is located. The party decided to rest for few days and con- cluded to celebrate the tooth birthday of our republic amid the pines of Ari. zona.
 A suitable pine tree was chosen and cat down, trimmed and smoOthed by the carpenters of the party, among them J. A. Wilson, now of this place. The top of the staff was ornamented with gilt ball.
 The flagstaff was raised on the morn- ing of the Fourth of July, 1876. with the proper ceremony. A piece of money, nickel, we believe, was de- posted at the bottom of the hole, and the flagstaff was raised and the Stars and Stripes foated from the top during the stay of the party, which was some two weeks longer.
 Frank Hart and T. r. Milan, who were both in this section at the time, say that the flagstaff stood for several years and finally deca, ed of at the ground and fell down. But the lOca- tion was known by all old settlers as "rhe Flagstaff, and with the advent of the railroad and the locating Of station here it was called Flagstaff.

Jesus at Jacobs Well John 4 4:5-15.
Read to 43d verse.
Golden Text Whosoever drinketh
Of the water that shall give him shall
never thirst. John 4 IA.
As Jesus wished to go from Judea,
whe1e He had been teaching and bap-
tizing with His disciples; to Galilee. a
northern province, He must needs go
through samaria, = lying between. He
came to city Of Samaria called Sychar,
near which was piece of land once
owned by Jacob, the Father of the
Israelites, who had temporarily dWelt
there and dug well.
Jesus came to this well about noon,
and being "Wearied with His Journeys
sat down to rest, while His disciples
went into the city to buy food. How
blessed, as we became Wearied with
our journey, to know that Jesus can
sympathize with us, especially If like
Paul 'sin journeyfngs often" and ''in
wearinessn in His work we have fellow.
ship with Him.
"A woman Of Samariao came to
draw water, and Jesus said to her,
ssGive Me to drink The woman
thought 1t strange request as ''the
Jews have no dealings with the Sama-
ritans,' but as God SO loved the worldn
as to give His Son to die for it, there
is no respect Of persons with God, nor
any outside the reach of the Sayiour's
love, nor the love of His disciples.
Jesus spoke to her Of "the gift Of
Godn which sis eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord" of which she
knew not or she would "haye asked OF
Him the living water" She was like
many whom ''the god of this world
hath blinded lest the light OF
the glorious Gospel Of Christ should
shine unto Them"
The loving words of Jesus are ring
ing still along the years, "If any man
thirst let Him come unto Me and
drink and even before His day Isaiah
cried, sHo, every one that thirsteth,
come ye to the waters"
Ehe poor sin-blinded woman could
not understand Jesus, but thought He
referred to the well on which He sat.
While forgetting WEAKNESS and thirst
He patiently and lovingly told her that
unlike the water from Jacobs well
whoever drank Of it would thirst again;
while the water that He should give
would be "a well of wafer springing
up into everlasting life, soul-satisfy-
ing fountain, the possessor Of which
shall never thirst. y
Moreover, out of him who drinketh
the Living Water "shall flow rivers''
TO refresh and enliyen others. Shall
we not appropriate the words Of the
