FAIRLEE.

James Gilmore and wife, their
daughter, and her friend are stop
ping with his brother, w. H. Gill
more.
Fred Patch, who has worked for
w. H. Gilmore for the past year
and half, is entitled to much cred
it in the military line. Previous
to our last muster in August the
order in Co. G was for an examina-
ton to elect a copora1 and Fred with
six others was a candidate to fill the
position. The result was SO o-13,
this being the best. If he had ap-
piled for the position of sergeant he
would have secured it. Mr.. Gilmore
speaks very highly of the young
man and says his knowledge of the
modern tactics is very good. We
congratulate Fred and wish him
success.
Chas. Day of Holland has been
visiting at Mr.. Huntley's, his wife
being sister of Mr.. Huntley, who
is one of y children, II of whom
are living, youngest being % years
of age.
Nr. Peck of Brookfie1d, of the
firm of Peck & Clarke, manufactur-
ers of forks and hoes, was in town
and stopped with his cousin, A. W.
Paine. The writer can vouch for
the quality of the product of the Co.,
for he has sold their goods for IS
years. There are none in the state
that equal them. So much for that.
H. P. Warren reports that his sale
of furniture, carriages and harness
was very satisfactory at the Corinth
fair.
We are pleased to see Stetson back
on the road with his we'll kept meat
cart.
Herbert e. Warren went to Meri
den, N. H., to commence a four
years course at the Kimball Union
Academy. H. P. feels grateful to
the teachers of Oxford for preparing
him from the eighth grade to pass
into the first year at Meriden. His
interest to accomplish same has
been that he did not secure a mark
to discredit in the last two years,
and we think from the catalogue
and the discipline of the institution
that it stood second to none for the
scholars are to attend church and
Sabbath school and they are marked
from there to the day school,
Mr.. Hunter and family visited at
Mr.. Holmes last week.
We see that the Montpelier Daily
spoke very highly of the Corinth
Fair, one item being that there
were 70 yoke of steers and oxen.
Mr. Griffin of Oxford showed one
of the best, also law and order was
preserved.
John Clement has been in Nashua
visiting for a few days.
G1ens Falls House is closed and
Mr.. Porter is to return south soon.
Mr.. Hale of Bradford is in the
Owls Nest. Mr.. Cunningham
family are at their cottage. Mrs.
Wilmot of Lyndonvil1e is in the Mo-
rey Cottage, but they all return Sat
urday and Monday next, that will
close all of the cottages except Rose
wood and Mrs. Warren will stop
there another week. The business
and visitors have been nearly as
good, if not better than any previ
GUS year. The American has
made some difference with good
many.
Allie Adams was called to take
views of the decorations at DR..
marriage of their daughter. The
newly married couple had much at
tention paid them at the depot,
everyone seeming more than willing
to assist in marking baggage. Col
1ections of old shoes, a liberal dis
play of rice, torpedoes on the car
rail, &C., made a pleasant scene not
soon to be forgotten
The village school commenced
Sept. 9th with Annie E. Woodward,
teacher in the grammar department,
and Mrs. Rosalene Ordway in pri-
mary. About thirty pupils are reg
istered in the two rooms, and we
think there are a few scholars not
attending scchol, who should take
advantage of the privileges offered
them.
Leona Nichols of Oxford teaches
in District No. 3. We have new
books, which are of much benefit
and interest to the scholars.
A. H. Gilmore, proprietor of the
Newport News (Va.) Evening Tele-
gram arrived at his fathers, Gen. W.
H. Gi1more's, Tuesday, and will re-
main about a week.

We were glad to see Mrs. Frank
