LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Editor News,
 Sir:
 The canker worms, which have been making such havoc in the apple trees for some weeks past, are now winding up their business for the season and are going into the orysalis state. Their little white cocoons, about an inch long, are now to be found inside the nests and under the edges of steps and clapboards of houses and in outbuild ings. If people will take little pains to pull off and step on these cocoons they will destroy the moths which lay the eggs from which the worms are matched. If verybody will take the trouble to do this there will be fewer worms next year. D.

and the boys feel very much pleased
over the result. Although the night

there was n good sized crowd present
when the grand march was formed.
The order presented was composed of
some nice dances and the excellent
music furnished by Carey's orchestra
gave them all n very pleasant even

great praise for their hard work in
making the affair a success: President

YEARS SERVICE
Completed by Elisha S. Newell as a
Railroad Man.

Thirty-eight years ago today, Elisha
8. Newell began his work as a railroad
man. and this is quite record, as it
testifies to his faithfulness, ability and
strict attention to his duty. Mr.. New

has served under each succeeding man.
ager. During his long period of ser
vice he has run all kinds of trains, both
day and night. Passenger trains and
freights have been run under his COM
mand and during the many years that
have gone by only one accident has
happened, that being when a brakeman
slipped from n freight car and lost his
life. No other persons have been in
iured by trains controlled by him.
Mr.. Newell is 65 years of age and has
held his faculties to a remarkable de-
gree and as he quoted His eyesight
has not grown dim nor his natural
strength -abated." He has lost very
little time in his long service, having
enjoyed very good health. Mr.. Newell
attributes his many years of service to
his temperate habits. He is now the
competent engineer of the shifting en-
CINE at the freight yard in this city,
and bids fair to continue his faithful
work for many years and have many
more anniversaries and a remarkable
record to his credit.

The Library Fair.

Preparations for the Library Fair go
on briskly. 1t is true that there are
two Tichmonds in the field" but the
Library Richmond is not in the least
afraid of his big brother of the Board

and neighborly is the spirit shown in
both enterprises. that each, it is to be
hoped, will prove a help rather than
a hindrance, to the other. Cav me
and I'll cav thee" says the old Scot
fish proverb. If the Board of Trade
workers will help the Library workers,
the latter. their own festivity once
over, will roll up their sleeves, Cor
rather. will not stop to take them
downD and go straight to work again
to help the Board of Trade.
