Whose next move? 1t has been a sort
of domestic game of checkers here for a
number of days. The streets have been
full of household furniture and it's good
guessing that some of 'em have to think
twice to be sure where they live. Here
are some of the moves that have been
made: Franklin Robbins to the Bartlett
place; George Clark to Sumner; DR..
Aldrich to the George Clark house;
Charles Andrews to the I. NJ. Croker
stand; Alfred Daniels to the Albion
Abbott farm; Fred Shaw to the John S.
Mason stand; Mark Shaw to the Robbins
place; Joseph Slattery to the Mary K.
Daniels stand and Louis f. Clay from
GoSsville, n. H., to Paris Hill. Some Of
these people have the moving business
right down to a science,-they have their
lows on the return trip and exchange
wood and hay To save moving il. Meth
odist ministers will do well to make a
note of this.
