the former one was adjourned until
Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. F. Smith leave Sat
urday for quite an extended trip, Wis
iting her former home in New Hamp-
shire over Sunday. Boston will be
the next stopping place. From there
they go to Washington to attend the

To aid the WOman's Club in pre-
pairing for their fair, a ten-cent social

The catamount that has been ter
rorizing several neighborhoods, or
some relative of the "varmint," was
heard near H. C. Sherwin's barn last
Sunday morning, about 4 o'clock, as
Mr.. Sherwin was going to do his milk
ing. While this may not be a warming
against early rising, those who per-
sist in doing it should take a gatling
gun along for protection.
E. S. Robinson has greatly i'm
proved the appearance of his proper
ty near the river, by clearing off the
ledge, making walks, and setting out
small trees. He intends placing
benches there in the spring. This is
move in the right direction, and one
that should be followed by others, as
we doubt not there are many places
around town, in gardens or on lawns
that might be made pretty and at,
tractive hooks, by a small amount
of labor.

'less expenses.
The reading of the thermometer for
the past eight years, beginning with
the year 1898. is $50, $50, 500, 500,
SO, $40, $50, 610, for the noon hour
during the month of October. Octo-
her Is, '94 two inches of snow fell.
This plainly shows that all remarks
made of the midness of 1900 October
weather are well founded, and Novem-
Der thus far is as promising as the
beautifulrainbow of Monday evening,
though the higher hills were whitened
Monday night.
A fair under the auspices of the Wo-
mans Club of Morrisville will be held
in the Town Hall about the middle OF

senting the four seasons ill which ar
ticles corresponding to them will be
sold. There will also be attractive
entertainments provided for two eve

benefit of the town. the club having
in view the placing of drinking
fountain at the lower end of Academy

contribute in money to help along

One thing will be apparent since
last night, at least, that the New Eng
land Telegraph & Telephone Co. is
not monopoly" all the time, and
that in the giving out of election re
turns, not only for this but in for
mer years, it has been very liberal
making no charge. The Presidential
year has added zest to the getting o
election news, so Manager Healey con
