Next Sunday will be observed at the

Mrs. Matte E. Wheeler, who recently
bought out Mrs. l.. P. Wise's millinery
and fancy goods store, returned Saturday
night from Boston, where she, with Miss
Mary BelsDger, whom she has engaged to
| attend to the millinery, have been select
ing the goods for the fall trade. The store
is being put into prime condition, and with
the new goods will be very attractive.
Mrs. Wheeler has been in town long
enough to be favorably known, and Miss
Belanger has been a favorite trimmer in
town several seasons, and needs no re-
commentator. Mrs. Wise has been in the
business for many years, and has well
earned the rest she is now able to take for
the remainder of her life.

Rev. Edwin N. @. Barnes of Framing
ham, Mass, lectured in the Congregational
church Sunday evening under the auspices
of the w. G. 7. U. Although the weather
was unfavorable good sized audience was
present. Mr.. Barnes caught the attention
of his hearers with the first few words of
his address and held it closely to the end.
He spoke for more than an hour rapidly,
forcibly and logically. He believes in pro-
hibition; "pure and simple" All work done
by the various temperance societies and
workers is good and is a means toward an
end, but the liquor problem can be settled
at the polls and nowhere else. His humor
is irresistible, while his touches of pathos
brought the tears to many eyes. Mr..
Barnes seems peculiarly adapted to the lee
ture platform, and as he works in a right
eous cause, we believe he is destined to &C.
complish much good.
The High school football team played
the first game last Saturday at Brattleboro.
The Brattleboro High school eleven won by
a score of Is to 0. The Brattleboros had
already played one game before this, and
so were in much better condition than our
boys, whereas the Hinsdale boys were hand.
icapped by the loss of several players,
whose places had to be filled with men who
had had no training this year. The Brattle-
boro eleven kicked off, and the Hinsdsles,
by series of line plays, carried the ball
nearly to the Bratteboros' goal. Here the
ball was lost on downs, and the Brattle-
boros then made three successive touch.
downs. Our boys held once for downs, but
soon lost the ball on a tumble. In the sec
ond half neither side scored. The ball pass
ed back and forth near the centre of the
field, but neither goal was in danger at any
time. Captain h. Jetfords played hard
game, and deserved much credit for his
handling of the team. A further account
of the game will be found elsewhere in this
paper.
Mrs. w. s. Crowley, who died at her
home in Hartford, Conn, last week Wed
nesday, was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
John Donovan of this village. The cause
of her death was internal cancer. Mrs
Crowley was we'll known here, having
lived here with her parents from early
childhood until her marriage, and often re-
turing for extended visits after her mar.
riage. She had many estimable and at
tractive qualities, and made friends wher.
ever she went. She is survived by hus-
band and one son, William, 90 years of age
and daughter Mary, II. Besides these
there are her parents and one sister, Miss
Mary Ann Donovan of this town. The
body was brought to Hinsdale and funeral
services were held at the Roman Catholic

of flowers, among which were many hand

Much sympathy is felt for the parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Donovan, who feel their loss
most keenly.
