City Daily and Country Weekly

City newspapers get a great deal OF
amusement from their country con-
tempories, and some of them, at least,
make a practice of printing from
time to time "funny column" made
up wholly of selections from thu rural
weeklies.
Persons who live in New York or
Chicago or Boston are amused to
learn that "Mrs. Jim Belcher of Bings
Corners has had her wood shed and
back fence painted red," or that
"Silas Twombly has lost thirty chick
ems from the pip" Such news seems
to them absurdly trivial, and trivial it
is, of course. But ''life is made up of
trivialities.' The only question is:
Are they triYialities in which we are
interested.
The reader who laughs at these
items in the country weekly goes
through the column of two-line local
news items in his city daily without a
smile. He reads with dignity the &C.
count of the accident to "Mary Ann
Higgins, servant, who fell on the
ice and broke her Leg" and the ''ifty
dollar fire which damaged Jon es's all
night lunch CART" Is the one kind
of reading any more ridiculous than
the other-or rather, any less?
City and country have each it's own
interests, and both kinds Of editors
try to give their readers what they
want. Doubtless both succeed in
fair measure-how we'll many city
man who was born in the country
may decide for himself by glancing
over the ole home weekly which he
still receives. In that paper items
which he would laugh at if he found
them anywhere else will strike him
with thrill of pleasure or pang of
sympathy. The reason is, he knows
the people.-Youth's Companion.

Lecture by Judge Stafford.

With the money obtained from the con-
cert given in Summerville last winter,
two panels of fThornwaldsen's frieze, Tri-
umph of Alexander" were purchased, but
by mistake third panel was sent. To
enable the school to keep this, Judge w.
P. Stafford has kindly consented to give
his lecture on ''The Making of Vermont"
in the assembly hall of the Summerville
school Tuesday evening, April 10, at 8
O'Clock. The original of the entire frieze
is in the Royal Museum at Copenhagen,
and represents Alexander's triumphal
entry into Babylon. The part that has
been placed in the hall at Summerville is
13 feet long and two feet high, and
shows Alexander himself leading the
van in his chariot drawn by four horses
and driven by the genius of victory. He
is followed by his armor bearers mounted
on horses.
Tickets for this interesting and instruc-
tive lecture will be sold to adults for rs
cents and to the school children for 15
cents.

The annual meeting of the parish OF
the Church of the Messiah, was held last
week Tuesday evening in the church par
lors, at which the officers for the ensuing
year were elected and reports from the

a clean sheet, with slight balance to
the good. A particularly encouraging

the care Of the parish at st. Johnsbury
Center. In connection with the meeting
the ladies of the parish served an excel
lent supper, which with the social time
that followed, made the occasion one of
much pleasure as well as profit.

A PASTORS Resignation.

Rev. 6. T. Colwell, who has occupied
the pulpit of the Advent Christian church
for the past three years, has rendered his
resignation and preached his farewell
sermon Sunday morning. Mr.. and Mrs.
Colwell have been very active workers,
considering the fact that Mrs. Colwell's s
health has not been good for some time
past. It is owing largely to this fact
that they leave here. She has been presi-
dent of the local w. c. T. u. and vice
president of the county union, and these
two organizations will greatly regret
the loss of such an efficient officer. Mr..
Colwell has also taken great interest in
this work.
The pulpit will be occupied the next
two Sundays by Rev. Mr.. Richardson of
Bristol. Mr.. and Mrs. Colwell leave in
few days for their new home in To-
ronto, Ont.
