horse and vehicle was suffered, but the
young men escaped without injury.

Guy Allbee's in Brookllne Saturday even
ing A party Of Brookline friends were
also present and about 200 bushels OF
corn were husked The refreshments

his new blue wagon"

special mention OF the great corn eX-
hibit now in progress. She gives a fine
description of the artistic arrangement
of the corn and corn products, also of the
mammoth ears which are a surprise to
eastern eyes, but all the attractions she
Loyalty admits, cannot compare with the
comfort and quiet and home friends of
dear old Newfane
