TOWN SHEND.
Mail Service Good and Bad-Not a
Kidnapping Case.

N'uHdpP'H9 Sdse'
The suburban service on the mar.
row gauge last week during the I'M
settled conditions prevailing in the
atmosphere consisted in the passing
of the snow-plow Thursday. II Is
the prevailing opinion that the mar
row gauge will have to wait until the
next leap year to make up the day
lost from its schedule.
While we do not wish to emphasize
the truth of the old adage, that COM
parison is odious. we cannot but APP
preciate the promptness and efficiency
of the mail service we are now re-
ceiying over the stage running from
! Townshend to Saxtons River via
! Grafton. The stage not only arrives
on time but it Is often a little ahead
of time.
What appeared to be a bold, bad
attempt to kidnap the faculty and
students of the seminary Tuesday af
ternoon turned out to be nothing
more serious than the embarkation

where the juniors gave the seniors
their annual banquet. Twenty-Five
people made the trip in a four-hors
rig, with o. w. Toilette as their Jehu.
