Carleton is best known from his poetical works, and be Is a favorite wherever the English language Is spoken. He Is thoroughly at home both in country and city topics. The Boston Globe says of his work: "The poetry of Will Carleton reaches the heart of the American people, and always moves 1t. It Is the expression of the common sense of right and duty in social relations that, although slow-coming, is inherent In the people, and Is at length directed to sympathy and help. It Is al- so a medium for the description of the character and manner of life of the peo- pie who, whether of the farm or the city, display the noblest virtues." This Is probably the last time that a Stafford Springs audience will have a chance to hear MT. Carleton. There will be a meet ing of the league after the lecture, at which refreshments will be served and business transacted. Tickets are on sale at A. l.. Towards and E. K. Taft's stores. Stafford.
