They stopped in at T. NJ. Quarton's
farm, about two miles from town,
for dinner. After dinner Mr..
Barnes went out to take care Of his
horse and found it very sick. He
doctored it up as best he could, and
went back into the house, returning
in short time only to find the horse
dead. They were obliged to borrow
a horse to finish their journey.

This mild weather is a great boon
to most of the population, but it sets
hard in spots. Dealers had laid in
unnsnally.largeI supplies Of winter
goods. This trade is so small that
scarcely an impression has been
made on the stocks. Rubber goods
come high, but it was figured that
the demand would be large, and the
buying was accordingly. The sales
Of the whole town these days would
not pay the interest on single rub
Der stock. 1t is unfortunate that
we cannot all be happy at one time.
