OAKVlLLE HAPPENINGS

On account of the big snow storm all the schools in this village except the ore on Main street were closed to- day. The train due here at 6:55 a. m., which carries such number of em< ployes of the local factories, did not arrive until about 7:3O, and the mail trains were also nearly an hour be- hind time during the forenoon. At times no electric car was to be seen on the branch for periods of over an hour. The snow here is fully fifteen inches deep on a level.
 J. w. Forsyth of Boston is setting an elevator in the new building of the Oakville Co.'S plant, and is staying at Mrs Slocum's boarding house on New ton Heights.
 William Mccormick of Main street is reported on the sick list.
 Max Felsmann has opened a small tailor shop. mainly for repairs and !. cleaning, in J. ID. Kennedy's tenement house opposite Warmers store. i A willing fellow living near the sta. ton deserves credit for the good job he did on the stairs leading to Newton Heights. As it seems to be the duty of no one in particular, and there being no remuneration for that work, these steps after a snow storm are often a l long time almost impossible, despite the number of people that pass b5 there. #c 8

Flowers of Good Cheer.

Although Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes never practiced medicine, those who knew him intimately say that he cheered more sinking invalids, cured more sick people and did more good, even from medical standpoint, than many of his young physician friends, The secret of his power lay in his over flowing cheerfulness and kindness of heart He scattered flowers of good cheer wherever he went With him optimism was a creed. eNfirth is Gods medictne,' he declared. Everybody ought to bathe in it. Grim care, mo roseness, anxiety all the rust of life ought to be secured of by the oil of lniirth. v
