The measles, grip, mumps, and kindred

incoming spring.
Frank 4. Willard of South Deerheld,

Evansville friends.
Mrs. Annie Hovey of Boston, widow of
the late Sewall NJ. Hovey, arrived here

A large number from this place attended
the Sunday school gathering at South
Newfane Wednesday and were very highly
pleased with all the exercises.

j. NJ. Gilbert has lately received large
order for paint brush handles which will
keep him busy for several months with an
increased force Of men. For several years
our mill men have been obliged TO make
frequent visits 10 Gardner and other man
ufacturing points in order to sell their
products. The manufacturers are now re-
turning the visits and seem anxious to buy
at better prices.
About 9 o'clock Wednesday evening a
young horse having on a part of harness
and string of bells and bearing evidence
of hasty travel, ran into Rev. ID. A. Balls

was the property of Stillman Lazelle of

ran away from young couple who were

The great crime with which the McKin-
ley administration is charged is not that
the Philippines will not be amply protect
ed in their property and religious rights,
but that it is proposed to have them wait
till they cool off little before voting for
selectmen and road commissioners. Yet
we suppose that there are good many
Newfane men who will not exercise this
latter right next Tuesday. And there are
also 200 or more Newfane women, repre-
sentatives of a class in this country far
larger than the Philippine population, to
whom we are saying, ave will take good
care of you, but you can't have your politi-
cal rights, God bless you! even though
you prove yourselves doubly fit for self
government"
