In March. 1887, she professed faith in Christ

Appeals heretofore made to Americans
for funds in aid of the homeless Boer
women and children have come from
Boer agents in this country. If any one
has withheld aid because of a suspicion
that contributions would be used to
protract the war, this possibility is re-
moved by the latest appeal, coming from
the wife of the English military governor
at Pretoria. She says that $4,000
refugees are collected In British camps
and that they are in destitute condition
Requests are made for contributions of
warm clothing against the approaching
South African winter, and that they be
addressed to the military governor,
Pretoria.

On page 10 of the REGISTER is call
for another village meeting to consider
the question of the water works. The
first article to be considered relates to
the water bonds, and the second to the
action of the committee thus far. We
do not understand, for we have not had
time to examine, the necessity for further
action in regard to the bonds; but sup
pose if there is any that will be made to
appear at the meeting,
1t is quite possible that such meeting
at this time will result in better infor-
nation in regard to the construction of
the works and as the committee thus far
has done little more than to purchase
and distribute the pipe, and locate the
reservoir, it is not too late TO consider
and adopt, if thought best, any sug-
gestions that may be made.
All voters should be present.

the gallery was crowded with patrons
and friends of the organization. who lis
tened to the several fine selections rend-
cred by the Middlebury orchestra.
Many smart gowns were displayed, both
on the floor and in the gallery. That
the organization met with success at
every turn in this, their first social event,
is but a demonstration of the pains-tak-
ing labors of the committee having
charge Of the arrangement, as well as
those having charge of the floor. AT . 80

entertainment and was led V Geo. A.
GOyette and wife, and many were the
