given, which included a paper on "The
Cliff Dwellers," by Mrs. NJ. A. P. Sayward,
| which was delivered in her usual interesting
manner. The question, Are our presen
common school laws generally satisfactory?
If not, why? and what changes can be
made to improve them? was opened by

South Montville Grange is taking in new
members. Thirty-eight of its members
visited Medomac Valley Grange, Appleton,
last Saturday evening, by invitation. A
very pleasant evening was spent and one of
the finest collations was served that could

any grange in the State. At the close of
the grange all started home feeling well re-
paid for long drive in the cold All passed
very pleasantly until our good mas
ter and wife were suddenly upset in a
snow drift. By the timely assistance of
Bro. Ramsey the sleigh was righted, they
were assisted in and went on their way
rejoicing. Bro. Carl Adams and his lady
were the next victims, and went home look
ing as if they had been out in heavy
snow Storm but ready to say with the
others that our visit with the Burkettville
patrons was most pleasant one.

Unhappiness in "Ffeedom." !"

Freedom from the marital bonds was the
desire Of Clara f. Sylvester, most of whose
troubles as she related them to Judge
Crosby in the divorce court in Boston Fri
day morning had occurred while she was a
resident of Freedom, Me. To the cruel and
abusive treatment of her husband she at
tributed her reduction in weight from $40 to
9s pounds while she was in Freedom. Mrs.
Sylvester had enjoyed matrimonial bliss
before she married Fred E: Sylvester in
Boston in the year 1898, and her experience
with her second husband gave her such a
respect for the first one that she asked to be
allowed to resume his name, that of Eugene
C. Strong. After Judge Crosby had lis
tened to her story he accorded her that
privilege

ceived by the students, The jokes of the

dents were also received with appreciation,

fine and artistically prepared bouquet.

the hall was quickly cleared and dancing

 All such facts having been made as clear to the president az they were to the senate, it surprises the people to learn that the president is perplexed as to the proper course to pursue. It is not only for ''the good of the service" that these corrupt officials should be 'summarily dismissed" but also for the future safety to government funds which they have been so outrageously pilfering.
