Massachusetts stopping with his brother
for some months, came back last Thursday |
night. He seems to be greatly improved |
in health, and will take up his work hoping |
to be able to do it without injury to him
self Weare all glad to welcome him again
Several of those intending to build the
coming summer have been disappointed
because the snow left so suddenly. They
intended to get their bills of timber in
during this month, have the lumber sawed,
and to have been ready when the season
opened to begin operations.
The streets of this village were perhaps
never better and dryer at this season of the
year than now. Each year of late the
highway has been improved, and concrete
sidewalks added, SO that at present about
as soon as the snow leaves nearly all the
village streets may be travelled without
muddy or wet feet. Now if we had electric
lights we should be we'll equipped.
Several are remarking about the early
spring, and many are saying we have never
had the equal of it, but some of our older
citizens make the statement that the spring
of 1878 was equally early and forward. All
the sugar was made in March that spring
with little or no snow, and wheat was
sOwn and up in the month of April, much
of the springs work on the farms was also
done.
We wish to express, through this paper,
our sincere thanks and apprecia JiOn to the
friends who have so kindly sympathiZed
wit I1C n % n
our dear wife and sister. Especially would
we thank the choir for their kind remem-
brance in the beautiful flowers sent for the
| burial.

Easter was appropriately observed at the
M. E. church yesterday morning and even
| ing. In the morning the choir sang two
| Easter anthems in an excellent manner.
The pastor, Rev. S. G. Lewis, preached an
eloquent and appropriate sermon from the
| text, "Come, see the place where the Lord
| lay" In the evening the church was
| crowded to listen to the Easter concert
given by the members of the choir and
| Suuday-school. The Scripture was read
by Rev. S. G. Lewis and prayer offered by
Rev. j. B. Lyman. The concert consisted
of several anthems and songs by the choir,
and recitations, exercises and songs by the
children. The choir rendered excellent
music and the children performed their
parts in very creditable manner.
