son House at the supper table Saturday
evening. a young man, u years OF age,

INTENDED for last week
Saturday witnessed the departure OF
/ 4. NJ. Stetson for his home in Boston
He has been with us since the early part
of July and notwithstanding his great

tokens robust health for years to come.
W. H. Bishop, who has been ailing for
some time past, is steadily on the gain.
The shipping Of pulp wood has been at
a stand still the past week owing to the
scarcity of cars. Both Sidngs are full.

Eddie J. Nelson who has been home tor
the holidays, has returned to his studies
at Hebron, Me-, where his progress has
been very marked as a scholar Judging
from the monthly school reports. Eddie

for his future welfare.
The hotel bill seems to be well filled by
the master of ceremonies, j. A. Lyons,
who comes largely to the front catering
to the public in his usual happy way to
the satisfaction of all.
La Grippe is sticking closer than a
brother to many of us. His departure
would be a blessing.

goods now. New goods in every line
have been added to the already large
stock on hand and with the new firm
comes new prices which is sure to please
the purchaser. W. 6. Nelson's buying
abilities tell the tale, Did you ever hear
him tell it
