SILVER LAKE.

INtNs Thl0tT DTOuKnln early utdcS u
the town hall at $50 last Sunday morning
There was a large attendance. The mex
service will be June at u O'Clock.
Rev. f. Currier at the Methodist churcl
last Sunday had a large congregation
Added to their own people were som
prominent Universalists who are waiting
to we.come their pastor. Surely Barnard
can now boast OF being a church-goinl
town.
Silver Lake is still at high water mark
Some of the surface water finds its way
/ through the cellar of the post Office
| building but no serious alarm is felt
although the new lessees of the John
Dean residence hesitate about moving in
| just at present. This house, Barnard
creamery and c. r. Safford's would be the
first to emigrate south in case of a break
out. Dan Chamberlin's mill, now
trembling on its props, would be a sure
recruit to swell the flood. Nothing below
near the stream could stand the pressure
were these buildings started.
REAL ESTATE SALES.
Owen r. Boutwell, has sold all of the
Leonard Gibson farm west of the Creek to
Fred Hackett for 800. This was a low
price for so acres, which includes nearly
all the land belonging to the farm. 1t lies
adjoining Hackett's and now gives him
large and also one of the best farms in
town. Sloping to south and east it
perhaps has the warmest and earliest
location in this part OF Barnard.
Mrs. Matilda Ella has sold her farm on
Mt. Hunger to Allie L. Brink for 400.
This is the well-known Eliakim Paige
farm and has passed through number of
hands since Mr.. Paige left it, at prices
above a thousand dollars. 1t looks as
though Allie might make some money out
baGa al
some other occupation than farming.
Mrs. Brink is now pleasantly located near
her father, Charles A. Townsend, and her
sister, Mrs. Fred Dutton. All their farms
adjoin.
