Mcdonald Not Coming

Word was received this morning from
W. Is. Mcdonald of Hardwick, who has
been talking seriously of locating his
stone shed business here, stating that he
had decided foreman in Hard wick. This
settles the matter as far as Mr.. McDon-
aid is concerned and leaves the Com
mittee with a gilt edged proposition,
ready for the consideration of any reliable
party wishing to locate business of like
character in live town and under con-
ditions which are unusually favorable.

Effects From the Thsw

The big thaw of last Friday and Satur-
day caused the ice to break up in the La
moille river between Tenney bridge and
the pulp mill, causing one of the worst
ice jams in years, although there was
no serious damage done. The ice piled
up at the head of the lake, setting the
water back under the pulp mill with such
pressure that the lower floor of the mill
was raised. The ice was also we'll dis
tributed over q. L. Shaw's meadow north
of this village. At Tenney bridge the
ice and water set back onto the McNall
meadow and the road east of the bridge
was covered with water Sunday morning
to depth of from four to five feet, max
ing travel impossible there until late
Monday.

At the Universaiist Church

At the Universalist church, Sunday
morning, the pastor, Rev. Otto S. Raspe
preached the concluding discourse in the
series of sermons on The Developing of
the Spiritual Senses. The subject under
consideration was, "rhe Sense of Taste"
Appropriate music was rendered by a
quartet composed of Mrs. l. o. Andrews,
Misses Grace Bedel and Nellie Minott
and Mr.. II. j. Fisher. Miss Lulu Towne
presided at the piano in the absence of
Mrs Ida Churchill, the regular organist.
A few of the thoughts expressed were
as follows:-" Every soul is born with a
sense of taste for spiritual things. 1t is
as natural for the offspring of Almighty
God to hunger and thirst after the pure
milk of the Spirit, as it is for the human
child to seek nourishment from the par
ent who gave it birth. To satisfy the
hunger of the soul man must eat of the
bread of life. That alone contains suffi-
cient nutriment to strengthen the char
acter and to prepare man for the hard
labor required of him in Gods vineyard.
Seated aC the table of wealth the soul
tastes of worldly gain. But having eaten
from the plate of gold and slipped the
strong wine of pecuniary compensations,
the soul still hungers and thirsts after
God. rhe almighty dollar may be the
god of the world; but 1t is poor currency
for a bankrupted soul. Though appar,
emily delighting in the taste of the viands
of this banquet table of earthly gain, the
man controlled by material motives rises
from his meal only to hunger and thirst
again. The craving in the human heart
after the spiritual, remains unsatisfied
until it tastes of Gods heavenly gift of
truth, love and peace.
The condition of Mrs. II. Waite has
been more comfor table for the past few
days.
Last Saturday, r. F. d. carrier, Z. S.
Robinson celebrated his sixth anniver-
sary as carrier. !
Next week Thursday evening will oc-
cur the regular meeting of Lamoille Com
mandery. 1t is expected that Acting
Grand Commander Gorham will be pres
ent to inspect the Commandery.
Last Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs. f.
X. Graves very pleasantly entertained
the members of the New Movement sum-
day school class, of the Methodist church
of which Mr.. Graves is member. New
officers were elected as follows: :-Presi-
dent. r. B. Ellis; vice president, Mr..
Graves: secretary, Geo. H. Terrill; treas
urer, j. r. Parker. Mrs. c. F. Smith
was reelected as teacher.
