"Wednesday evenings snow and hail
was accompanied by two bright flashes
of lightning. followed by quite distinct
thunder. Last year our first thunder
shower came on the second day of Feb
ruary, and was quite prolonged.
Rev. f. W. Pierce, who had been to
Meriden, Conn, and preached in that
city Feb. LIST, returned home Tuesday
night. accompanied by his son, Harry
W Pierce. Harry has been in the hos
pital several weeks with acute articular
rheumatism, but is now considerably I'M
proved.
A. Z. Morse was in Syracuse, y. Y,
last week, TO assist in entertaining the
meeting of the New York State Grange.
This engagement was secured through
some one who heard him read when he
was in Minneapolis year or two since.
His fame as an entertainer is becoming
extended.
The snow blowing in on the track near
the fair grounds stalled the electric car
Thursday evening, and not only did the
South Paris people who were returning
from Norway have To finish the trip on
foot. but a car load of Norway people
who had come over here TO the assembly
either had to go back by team or walk.
A familiar figure appeared in town a
few days since in the person OF Freddie
Merrill, who has been absent for year
or more. His stay here was apparently
OF only about three days duration, as he
disappeared soon after announcing that
he was about to board freight, which
would take him to Berlin quicker than
he could walk.
Charles A. Allen is laid off from work
AT present by an injury received about
ten DAYS since while at work on saw in
the Paris Manufacturing Co.'S factory
A dowel square thrown back from the
saw struck him in the back of the LETT
hand. penetrating about an inch. He
received worse injury in a similar way
about year ago.
The funeral of Mrs. Jane c., wife OF
Charles II. Lunt, was held at the house
on Gothic Street Wednesday afternoon,
attended by Rev. j. II. Little, with the
assistance of Rev. A. W. Pottle. Mrs.
Lunt was IS years of age, and had re-
sided here about eight years, the family
coming from Montville. She leaves a
husband and one son, Edward b. Lunt.
Miss Lola Lane of West Paris, who is
a member of the high school class of
1908, had birthday party at her board
ing place at Writ SANKEY'S "Wednesday
evening Sixteen young men and
women were invited, and had very
lively and apparently very enjoyable
time. Ice cream and cake and con-
fectionery were served for refreshments.
Pieces of a woodbine such as almost
any one would be glad to have to beauti-
fy and adoru his veranda have been left
with the Democrat by W. III. JENNIE.
This vine was cut in the woods on the
Croker farm in Hungry Hollow. a
section of the main stem, cut four or
five feet from the ground, is an inch and
half in diameter, Two stems appar-
emily grew from the same root. One of
them was about 70 feet in length and the
other about 81.
The snow and blow of last week re-
duced somewhat the amount OF teaming
on the road. Never has there been a
winter when more wood and lumber
have been brought into the village, or
when teamsters have put on larger loads.
l.. S. Billings says that he has never had
so much lumber on hand at this time in
the season. Besides yard full OF
Single stuff, the ice on the river inside
his boom is piled high with lumber, most
of which is pine. The eight inches oil
snow which fell Sunday bids fair to fly
if lively wind such as is in prospect
gets hold of it, but it will hardly stoT
the teaming, which will 60 on any way
For the past week every housewife
who has sought TO buy poultry in the
mark ct has been met with the same re
ply, ''Well, | had lot, but these feller'
that are getting up the supper down u
the Congo took 'em all: That is on
