that Miss May B. Lord, who is well
known here, is conducting evangelis-

John r. Neil, George Nichols and
Joseph Kingsbury, with their better
halves, made up a sleighing party
that took a trip to Willimantic last
Saturday afternoon.
We offer the suggestion that good
debate with the proper trimmings),
to be given in the hall in the near
future, would be greatly appreciated;
being educational and entertaining.
It had been expected that Rev. b.
M. Osgood would preach here next
Sunday, but he will be unable to
come, and the supply will probably
be from the Newton Theological sem
mary.
Samantha at the Court of Fame, ;"
given last week in Stafford Hollow,
was greatly enjoyed by some of the
ladies of this village, who took ad-
vantage of the good sleighing as we'll.
Among those who attended were Miss
Maud Oldershaw, Mrs. W. o. Ell
dredge, Mrs. J. R. Neil, Miss Fannie
Denman and Miss Lizzie Dimock.
VIM. o. Eldredge and Arthur LANCER
also went along to keep off the bears.
The board of trustees have called a
business meeting of the church, to be
held at the close of the preaching
service in the hall next Sunday. The
purpose of the meeting is to see if the
church. will vote to extend call to
Rev. B. M. Osgood, who has preached
here for the last three Sundays.
While we do not attempt to predict
the action the church may take, it
is certain that Mr.. Osgood has made
many friends here during these visits.

Caution

This Is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and remedy that has hsd the largest
sale of any medicine In the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment Of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing Its great popularity all
these years, yon will be thankful we cali
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are 50 many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there Is nothing
like German syrup. The IS cent size has
just been introduced this year. Regular
size rs cents. At all druggists. 80a80
