Harry George, who has made hi
home with his uncle, D. H. George
has been visiting in town for TIL
past week. He has a fine position
as expressmau in Boston, and at on
time M. d. Barber helped him to {
position on the Machias, where h
saw the naval engagement at the
time that Winslow was killed.
Rev. Mr.. Webb preached mis-
sionary sermon last Sabbath. Ir
the course of his remarks he plainly
showed that from the time of the
destruction of the Maine, and throw.
ing new territory into our hands,
we had much added to the missionary
duties.
H. E. Warren was at home to visit
over Sunday from Meriden. His
roommate, Chas. Pierce, went to
Montpelier to see a game of foot ball
between the Goddards and Seminary
team. Pierce is captain of the sec
ond team.
Murray Davis was in town last
week we have always hoped that
Murray would live to see some re-
suit from his mining business at the
head of the lake.
H. P. Warren sold a $50 load of
furniture from his branch store at
East Corinth, of which Mr.. Holland
has charge this week.
Don't forget to attend the school

The grange sociable was we'll at
tended last week at Mrs. Perkins,
The next one will be at Mrs. F.

correctly the largest number from a
list of twenty-five historical ques-
tions.
Mr.. Corliss held the first singing
school Wednesday evening. About
40 were present, and SIS was readily
subscribed. The next school will
be held Monday evening, after
which the schools will be held We'd
nesday evenings. Five were pres
ent from Oxford, and we are looking
for twice that number next time.
1t is always worth while to con-
verse with people who have made
success of any one thing. To find
out the correct method of develop
ing the speed of a thoroughbred
horse talk with o. P. Dickey of East
Corinth who returned from Nashua.
N. H, recently, where he closed one
of the most successful circuits made |
by any one horse. In his first race
at Bradford he only made End place.
In the fast race at Barton
he took the first money. Then
his price for Bunker Hill was $1,000.
The next week at St. Johnsbury he
had number of admirers. a bid of
$500, and took first money. Next
week at Morrisvi11e he took first
money and at Barre they thought he
would be End, but the result was the
same, first money, and $500 was
now the price. His next place was
at the races at Concord, N. H., and
he took first money here and price
went up to $1,000 The last place
was Nashua, where he won first
money very easily and sold the horse
for $500, making over $4,000 net.
One of the most pleasing things to
Mr.. Dickey was the fact that the
horse never made a break He I
knew his driver and the driver
knew him. He had never been
overworked, had been used to the s
hard, slow track at East Corinth, {
and when he got out on to good
stepping ground, he surprised them
al. Mr.. Dickey has year old and
wo younger that are coming his way i
Ill o. K. We claim that Mr.. Dickey {
S one of the best filters and Judges
If the trotting stock that we ever i
Knew in the state. /
