Four residents Of Village Hill district,
George Fisk, Joseph Buckwheat, Fontillo

w. F. Essex last Tuesday, on complaint
OF State Officer Simmons, charged with
violating the law regarding regular at
tendance Of children at school they
pleaded guilty as charged, and were fined
81 and costs making total of $9.07 each.
We copy the following from the Wor-
cester Telegram thinking that 1t might be
of interest to number of people In Will
ington. A reception was given Saturday
night at the home of George Fl. Phillips,
90 Beacon St., In celebration of the Goth,
birthday of Mrs. Phillips's grandmother,
Mrs. Harriet Maine. Among those pres
ent were three grand children and eleven
great-grand children, all living In Wor-
cester; also daughter-in-law, Mrs. Rufus
Staples, of Willimantic. Mrs. Maine has
two other grandsons living. William. H.
Bracket, of South Wellington and Samuel
F. Maine of Stafford Springs. There are
two great-grand children attending school
in Exeter, N. H. Mrs. Maine was born
in Stafford, Oct. 10, 1910, and today she
has excellent health and good spirits.
The republican rally in the 9Th district
school house last Friday evening was a
decided success In point of numbers and
enthusiasm. Everett Richardson was the
prime mover in the enterprise, and had
calculated on about so persons attending
but none were expected from this village.
1t may safely be said that there was
amazement and even CONSERVATION In
camp, when at eight O'Clock the school
house was surrounded by small detach
ment of South Wilmington rough riders
numbering about SO, who, after giving
their company yell marched into the build
ing, filling the seats and aisles and fairl,
hanging onto the walls. The meeting wa.
called to order, w. H. Hall chosen al
chairman and Mr.. Richardson was callet
on for a speech, Everett can make
speech all right, and he sailed right In
For three-quarters of an hour he kept tn
audience spell bound, except for the ap
plause, and firmly established his reputa
ton as stump-speaker. w. F. Esse.
was next called on and came to the poin
at once by asking If there were any oyster
concealed about the premises, Mr.. Rich
ardson said that he had a few for som
special invited guests and invited tn
crowd to his house where he served cake
pie and cheese. The rough riders mad
a fine showing, as they marched with thei
cleaning torches and lanterns and armet
to the teeth with tin horses. It took then
II minutes to pass given point, bu
that point was E. G. Richardson's, whel
on their way home.

REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY.

The people Of the United States were
on half rations" In 1894. but on full
rations In 1899 and 1900. The official
publications OF the treasury bureau Of
statistics show that the wheat con-
srmed in the United States In 1896 was
bui S4i bushels per capita, while in
1892 II was 5.sl bushels. and In 1899.
b.s5 bushels per capita. In 1900 the
home consumption viii probably ex-
coed six bushels per capita, and be
nearly II not quite double that OF 1894.
This illustrates the advantage to the
farmer OF a h%ourishing business condl-
tion, which assures him a satisfactory
home market. In 1892 and 1899 fac
tories We're running on fun time, Both
employers and employees have been
busy and making full earnings. Every
body has been able TO buy all the food
that he required. In 1899 and 1900 CON
ditions have been even better.
