several gramophone selections made
the evening very enjoyable. AS a
pleasant surprise the company were
requested to help themselves to new
sugar, a request that did not need
repeating. The company appreciate
heartily the efforts Mr.. French made
to give the boys a good time. The
company are earnestly striving to
make the organization a help to it's
members and a benefit to the COM
munity.
E. E. Holmes met with serious &C
cident last Saturday, which came
near being still more serious. lie
was helping move two safes from L.
NJ. Jones' furniture store to 0. B.
Landon's house. The safes were
loaded and got down there safely,
but in unloading, one Of them was
pushed too far on to the plank and it
tipped and fell over. 1t came very
near striking Mr.. Holmes squarly,
but one of the other men saw it COM
ing and managed to push it aside, so
that instead of striking his body it
fell on his leg and foot crushing it
pretty badly, but it is thought break
ing no bones. He will be obliged to
go on crutches for some time, but is
fortunate to be able to go at all. He
carried an accident policy in the
Travellers.

Again our community is over
Swallowed by sorrow over the death,
on Saturday, of one of our most highly
respected citizens. l.. NJ. Jones came
from Lebanon, n. H., to live among
us about twenty fvey years ago, and

right living and hisstrict integrity in
business, he had won the love
and respect of his fellow-citizens who
sincerely mourn his loss and SYM
pathize deeply with the wife and little
son, who are Dereft of the care of 8
loving husband and father. Mr..
Jones had not been strong for sever
| al years and the dreadful disease of
which he died at last had hung over
him, but he resisted with all the power
of strong man until about year
ago it seemed to get firm hold not
to be shaken off. Through all his i'll
ness his cheerfulness and patience
was wonderful and be hoped for the
best until the last. Truly it can be
said OF him BLESSED are the dead
that die in the Lord, they may rest
from their labors, and their works do
follow them"

PLEASANT SOCIAL EVENT.
Social evening of the o. l.. G. last

fully. About thirty five members of
the Club met at the pleasant home of
Mrs. E. FL. Sherwin and were welcom-

was responded to by quotations re.
lating to spring. After that q prize
contest was held over questions to be
answered by words made from the
letters found in maple sugar. Miss
Alice Dickinson won the first prize
and Mrs. Lillian Waterman the
second. After that the president
stated that the Club had been criti-
cised for their neglect of art" and
that they would now pay more at
tention to that. So each member
was given asubject and was requested
to illustrate it before the company by
a large charcoal drawing. A prize
was to be awarded to the most intel.
ligent looking illustrations. OF
course the result was amusing, as
might be expected, although each
illustrator was able to make her sub
iect clear. The prize was awarded to
Mrs. Lizzie Leslie, by vote of the
members, her subject being q cat.
