The base ball game last Saturday
drew fair sized crowd considering
the weather. 1t was very uninterest-
ing from start to finish. The Hard
wick boys did their best, but the
home team was too many for them.

games may be expected as the season
advances.

built up quite an extensive trade for

farm. They state that the distance
is much shorter than either of the
other proposed routes.
At the close of the evening service
last Sunday H. NJ. Mcfarland and
R. W. HuIburd spoke very feelingly
regarding Rev. Mr.. Taylor's pastor
ate here. Fitting tributes were paid
to him both as man and a pastor.

tire community in the hopes that his
vacation may be pleasant one and
that he'will return to his charge in
improved health enabled to take up
his work in the fall with renewed Wig

Lodge |. 0. o. F. went to Hardwick
Monday night and assisted in insti-
tuting a lodge of that order at that
place. Lodges from other localities
in that vicinity were also represented,
making up a gathering of about 200.
The lnitiatory degree was worked in
a very creditable manner by the East
Hardwick lodge; Sterling lodge did
likewise with the First degree and
Cabot lodge worked the Second de-
gree exceedingly well. The Third de-
gree was worked by a mbination
of the several lodges. At midnight
an intermission was taken at which
a banquet-a most sumptuous affair
was served. The election of officers
and installing the same followed.
Grand Master Jackson had charge of
the event. The new lodge starts off
with a good membership and the
prospects for strong organization
in that hustling berg are very good.

The occasion was a very enjoyable
one throughout, made doubly so by
the courteous hospitality extended to
all the brethren by Hardwick Lodge.
