make sacrifices for the good of the country.

One OF the attractions booked at the
opera hall is "Quincy Adams Sawyer" the
great New England drama in its fifth
season OF uninterrupted successes. 1t
comes off tonight (Monday). Everyone
who has read the book of the same name,
from which the play was taken, will want
to see the dramatization, and those who
have not read the book will want to see
the play just the same, for everybody
loves clean, wholesome play of New
England life, and this is just what ''Quincy
Adams" Sawyer" is. Best of all it has
departed from the weather. beaten tracks
OF the old-time drama. The pleasing
points are simple, sweet love story,
continuous series of humorous Incidents,
and an almost heretofore unknown natu-
ralness and purity that pervades the entire
play.
The memorial services here last Wednes-
day were the best which the post has
enjoyed for long time. The orator, ].
Ellery Reed of Sherbrooke gave most in
teresting address. He gave short review
OF the past, but dwelt more on the future.
He was optimistic about our nations being
able TO meet the problems that confront us,
and had no patience with those who are
always prophesying evil and ruin to the
republic. His remarks to the young were
specially fine and encouraging He is a.
true orator and 1t was a real intellcctuars
treat to hear him. Principal Hall read e.
part OF Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg,
, male quartet and the village band gave fine
music. Emma Goss and Irving Joslyn ren-s
dered some inspspiring recitations. AZ
large number of the pupils of the schools
marched in the procession to the cemetery,
: and the third and fourth grades under
their teacher sung q suitable selection at
the graves. On the whole it was one of
the best memorial services ever held here.
. as the large audience who attended would
attest If given an. opportunity.
