Everybody went in for a good time at
the reception given by Durham Brothers
to their statesmen, clerks and others in
the Brooks House Friday night, and all
found just what they were looking for.
About $50 persons were present. There

singers orchestra furnishing music. Re-
freshments were served. An enjoyable
feature was a song by Alison Dugan,
which was a parody entitled Everybody
Works the Jobber." Durham Brothers
invited the statesmen to meet in Misha-
waka, Ind where the celebrated Ball

The following concerning the outlook
for representative in Congress from the
second district is from the White River
Junction Landmark: Public reports say
that the Hon. Charles A. Prouty of New
port, at present a member of the inter-
state commerce commission, is not averse
to representing the second congressional
district in Congress. Col. HasSins is re-
ceiving strong support for reelection.
Governor Bell, it is said, has his eyes
fixed on the prize, and Mr. Proutys
entrance into the campaign will increase
the interest already awakened in the mat
ter. With three such strong candida ties
to select from the second district is
fortunate. The congressional convention
of the second district will be an exciting
gathering. Without attempting to fore
cast the result 1t looks to us at present
as If our present representative, Colonel
HaslIins, will succeed himself"
