The Methodist social at the home OF
1 Mr.. and Mrs. James Howe last Thursday
proved a success in every particular. The
/ host gave the use Of his team and conveyed
the guests not otherwise provided for to
and from the farm, the five-cent transpor-
tation charge helping TO make the receipts
5000. Tables were set both on the lawn
and in the house and a tempting baked
/ bean supper was served. A ball game in
the afternoon and music in the evening
afforded additional entertainment to the
guests.
Frank, Jr., aged two years and seventeen
DAYS, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Camp
bell, died at half past five Saturday morn
I ing after an illness covering nearly ten
months OF great suffering. The child was
stricken by shock, from which he par
[ TALLY rallied, and then was attacked by a
disease commonly known as water on the
brain, which gradually wore his life away.
The funeral was held at / O'Clock Sunday
afternoon at the home, below Pearl street,
Rev. Frazer Metzger, pastor OF the Chris
tian church, officiating. Monday, the
Campbell family removed TO Bethel, where
Mr. Campbell has been employed lately by
the Ellis Granite company as teamster.
Bethel and Randolph had two encoun-
ters on the diamond at McCall's park
Tuesday afternoon between different teams
from the two places. The first game was
played by youthful mines and resulted in a
victory for Bethel by a score of to B.
The town teams Of Bethel and Randolph
then crossed bats in a game that Bethel
won 10 to l. The batteries were Cur 20
and Connolly for Randolph, and Culver
and Clark OF South Royalton for Bethel.
The second baseman of the Bethel team,
Cilley OF South Royalton, had the misfor-
tune to break a bone in his right wrist in
too strenuous discharge OF his duties
Another game will be played at Bethel
Labor day.
Bell Brothers have just made an addi-
ton to their store that is a decided inn
provement. On the upper floor, they have
taken in space 20x20 feet over W. W.
Mortons grocery to be devoted entirely to
the millinery business. A double door
way with drapery curtains leads into the
millinery parlor, with a new long show
case for the display OF goods, and capa-
cious drawers beneath for the various ma
terials that enter into the manufacture OF
a bonnet. Directly out OF the parlor is a
smaller working room, and the whole is
very conveniently arranged. The suit de-
partment has been moved up front, where
the millinery was kept, and a handsome
suit case OF hard pine % feet long and hav-
ing glass sliding doors lines one side OF
the room. The rest of the upper floor is
occupied by the garment and carpet de-
parLuents. Bell Brothers now have a
total floor space Of $500 square feet, besides
the basement, 1000 square feet being on
the second floor.
Few predictions are heard as TO how
the representative contest will come out
next Tuesday. No choice on first ballot
is the common talk. All three OF the Re-
publican candidates, Messrs. ID. II. Morse,
j. b. Wells and j. B. Adams, are so well
known that voters will have little
difficulty in making their choice. Each
is making a thorough canvass. After the
first ballot, il no choice results, the
Democrats will probably transfer their
votes from their candidate, ID. r. Sar-
gent, to their personal preferences among
the Republicans. A union justice ticket
has been filed, made up the same as last
years board with the exception of G.. L.
Martin in place OF Charles Granger. 1t
is apparent the Democrats are trying hard
to keep the majority for the Republican
state ticket down here as well as else
where through the state. Several promi-
nent Democrats are engaged in personal
canvass for that purpose. IL behooves
every Republican to be out next Tuesday,
rain or shine.
