PROSPECT. The free delivery of mail in
this section is highly appreciated. Last
week 1916 pieces of mail were delivered on
the carriers route, and.not overestimating,
two months work was saved to the people.
1t seems to be too good to last long. Some
of the people take dailies so the sad news
, of the President was received as well as
other favored places. III. F. Gould's horse
was lame and never trotted at Monroe. N.

deserted, so many went to the fair. The
Halves bridge has been replaced by a new
| and strong one. Mrs. Eta Gray's brother,
| Mr.. Gilman of Massachusetts, has been
| visiting relatives in town.. The rain has
come and wells and springs so mnch needed

The changes along the routes where we
sold garden truck in past years has increas-
| ed and a few more people have moved in
and the quarries are worked with more
than last year. Strange changes have taken
place in the last 80 years. Such thing as
tomatoes was never seen or known of even
20 years ago, but now at every house in
town green tomatoes are used for pickles,
but ripe tomatoes are not generally liked
and there is no sale for the best part of
them. The consumption of cabbage, squash
and onions has more than doubled in five
years.

pie of Monroe received the tidings of the
death of DR.. c. F. Atwood, who was resi-
dent of this village for years, and there are
but few families but can testify to some
kindness received at his hands during the
years he practiced medicine here. Much
sympathy is expressed to his family eSpec-
tally to his mother who in his death has lost
the love and protection of an only son in her
wldowhood -. Mrs. Abbie Sewall has made
short stay in town with her mother, Mrs
Atwood. Mrs. Nellie Ryder Buzzell, who

WALDO STATION. The time of harvest is
near. With the fairs and the gathering
of the first fruits of the autumn people are
kept busy, and do not find the farm a dull
place now; on the contrary every hand is
kept employed and as work is good for
both body and mind and the year plente-
GUS one, the farmer wears a cheerful face
and 'feels at peace with all mankind" .....

wealth. 1t is evidently of foreign manu-
