Frank Tower is having fine motor boat
built this winter by Geo. Scott and 0. L. |
Cowles. 1t is 25 feet loDg and five feet |
wide. 1t has 40 oak ribs and will be fin
ished inside with quartered oak, and out
side the planking will be of cypress. 1t |
will be run by a seven horse power gaso- |
line engine, and is expected to be ready |
for service by the time navigation opens |
We have had all kinds of weather in the |
past week, as usual this winter, and this
morning there are all kinds of ice. Satur-
day evening the temperature was very mild
and puddles Of water stood in the streets,
while on Sunday the mercury stood
about zero point with the wind blowing
hurricane and this morning thermometers
stood at IS below but with the wind
abated an the sky clear. This item is for
the benefit of our western and southern
readers who often write and ask what the
weather is ii the paper does not tell.
About so people we're present at the Red
Letter Evening OF the Woman's Literary
club held in Odd Fellows hall last Tues
day evening. One of the interesting
features of the entertainment was shadow
picture guessing contest, the prize being
won by Eugene Glazier. A good musical
| program was given and refreshments,
consisting of ice cream, cake and coffee,
were served by Mr.. Wiley. The commit
| tee wish to thank all who helped to make
the evening a success and especially those
who assisted in the program.
On Thursday evening in Seaver's hall
Geo. N. Cross, A. M, OF Haverhill, Mass,
will give an illustrated lecture on Wash
ipgton for the benefit OF the senior class
| trip to Washington to be taken the last OF
this month. This is said by those who
have seen 1t to be an exceptionally fine
lecture and certainly no one should miss
the chance of becoming better acquainted
with the capital of this great nation. Mr..
Cross will use the oxy-hydrogen light and
will not be dependent on electricity should
it fail. Reserved seats 25 cents.
Under the large head "Heath was Star
Player" the Barre paper gave a long ac-
count of basket ball game recently
played there in which Clyde Heath of this
place played. Following is what the arti-
Gle said of him:
"Heath, Goddard's left forward, played
the greatest game that has been seen In the
gymnasium and it is safe wager that there
| is not his equal in the league as a basket
thrower. He threw nine baskets from tht
floor and nine fouls, totaling n OF God.
dard's 80 points. Heath is almost sure OF
a basket when given foul to throw, ano
he throws baskets from the field in wa!

applause. He also looks after and cover
his man. His opponent wasOthe only play
