| Preston has worked in the E. L. Chandler
| company's mills. Soon after moving here
| Mrs. Preston began to suffer from stomach
| difficulty and has been a great sufferer
until her death. She was woman much
esteemed, an attendant of the Congrega-

| full, hard working woman and bore her

One of the most interesting events of the
season occurred at the Opera house last
week Tuesday night when the general pub
lie had chance to share with the students
the pleasures of the Was shington trip which
was taken by Prof. and Mrs. Erwin and a
party of high school pupils Feb.28. Nearly
hundred views were thrown upon large
screen, the lantern being operated by Prin.
Stannard of Barton. The slides were all
made by Prof. Erwin, and from photo
graphs made by him on the trip. The
views were very lifelike and realistic, and
: did much to make vivid to the audience
the various sights and scenes of the trip.
The oral description was given by eight
young men who gave evidence of powers
OF close observation, warm appreciation
and vivid imagination. The descriptions
: were written and read, but each young
man had his part thoroughly in hand, and
7 no interruption seemed to rattle them.
2 The audience was fair ii sizs and main
tained its interest to the close,the formal
part being followed By informal and ex-
temporaneous exercises prepared by the
t high school,and closing with promenade.
t The descriptive parts of the Washington
/ trip were taken as follows: The start and
e the first day in Boston, Charles Harris; the
g water trip and first day in Philadelphia
