Leonard f. Reed, who has for some years
lived on the Sabin farm between here and

their future home.
A goodly number of Sir Knights Temp
lar we're in Montpelier yesterday and join
ed in the Dewey day parade. Fred Smith,
"The Bellows Falls giant, was also in the
parade as Uncle Sam"
Nothing definite has been heard from
Washington in relation to the appointees
for the post office carriers. A letter re-
ceived this week from Congressman Grout
states that it is not the intention of the de-
partment to establish free delivery until
November, as the civil service commission
has been so slow in deciding regarding
carriers.

Hatch, Baker and Foster.
The Methodist church of this place voted
this week to invite the annual conference
of the Vermont Methodist churches to meet
here next April The conference has one
other invitation, to Lyndonville, but it is
probable it will accept the one to come
here. 1t is expected that very large
number of delegates, about 200 will be in
attendance. as 1t is the conference for lay
delegates which is held once in four years
The physicians of this and neighboring
towns are hoping that the time Is not far
distant when Bellows Falls may have a
hospital. 1t is the centre for large coun-
try. and the mills call many young men
here who have no homes. As a boarding
house is not a comfortable place IN which
to be i'll, hospital would be a haven of
rest to such, for sickness and injuries viii
come. 1t is hoped that the Young Mems
club will be able to make so large gift
from the lecture course income, as to make
it sure thing.
The prospectus for the peoples popular
lecture course under the auspices OF the
Young Mems club, has been distributed.
No pains have been spared to make this
fine and enjoyable course, and 1t Is hoped
that when the canvass for the sale OF TICK
cts is made that the response will be
hearty. Whatever is cleared above ex-
penses will be devoted to the hospital fund,
so there is a double incentive to make the
course successful OF course if enough
tickets are not sold to cover the expenses
the engagements must be cancelled.
NH til oil IN,
Boston Il Maine freight yard at North
Walpole, y. H., Saturday night. 1t is sup
posed that he was walking on the track
and was struck by a passing train. The
right foot and right arm were nearly sew
cred and there was hole in the back of
the head which showed the brain. Mark
ham went to Bellows Falls last June and
claimed that he came from Brattleboro
and that he had wife and child in Boston.
A telephone to Brattleboro elected the in
formation that his home was in Fitchburg,
Mass.
The water in the river is very low, so
low that no pulp grinders are able to run
except those which use overflow water.
The workmen are losing heavily by the
lack of work.
James Z. Keefe has bought the house of
G. H. Hadley on the corner of Atkinson
and Oak streets. Mr.. Hadley's new house
on the South Terrace will be finished
about Dec. !, when Mr.. Keefe will take
possession of the one he has just bought.
About two barrels of Laurel were ship
ped from here to Mortified to be used in
the decoration of the carriage which will
be occupied by Admiral Dewey today. No
laurel grows in that part of Vermont, and
the reception committee wrote to w. A.
Truax to see if he could procure some.
An excellent quality was found near the
Rockingham depot.
An event which will be an unusual treat
to local theatre-goers will be the appear
ance here next Wednesday of Hall Gaines
''The Christian" The play is one which
has met with remarkable success in New
York and Boston, and town the size of
Bellows Falls is extremely fortunate in be-
ing able to secure an attraction of such
merit. No lover of the drama can afford
to miss this masterpiece
