The rain just poured down Tuesday
night at IL o'clock, but Its duration was
brief and to the point, in fact very like
all that have preceded 1t during the past
season.
Errors will occasionally creep in how
ever hard one may try to prevent them.
Last week we had occasion to correct
one by another person, and at the same
time committed one Ourself, which was
not the first one either. Instead of
George Emmons being an only son, as
he is the oldest of four chill
dren, having two sisters and brother
some twelve years of age of whom we
knew nothing until very recently. Mr..
Emmons and wife have their reception
this Thursday evening, too late to report
until next week.
1t is said to be Yankee prerogative to
ask questions, and probably there are
those who inquired in regard to who
Floyd Morgan and Annie Kimball were,
who were made one flesh on the 28th of
September, aud had such a grand re-
ception on Saturday evening, the 3lst OF
October, notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, and the answer can be
given in a nutshell. Floyd Morgan is
the oldest of the five sons of Edgar Fl
and Delilah Emmons Morgan, car
penter by trade, and is now building a
fine little cottage at Bryant's Pond and
intends to have it ready for occupancy
Thanksgiving day. His wife, Mrs.
Annie May, is the only daughter of the
widow, Ida Kimball, of Waterford,
whose husband died very suddenly Of
heart disease about four years ago.
Elmer Cole, who was severely injured
by blast last spring, ia still living, but
totally blind. his nervous system now
badly shattered, so that it is good deal
of trouble to take care of him. 1t is
thought doubtful If he survives the CON-
ing winter.
Mrs. Edmond Harlow is on the de-
cline, the disease being consumption, or
what is now often called the white
plague.
Dannie BRYANT has moved to Locke's
Mills with his family and expects a job
in the spool factory. His father, Daniel
Bryant, intends to remain on the farm
for the present, preferring rural to city
life.
1t now remains to be seen whether
Mr.. Bryan will give up all hope of being
president or continue In the fight. Our
advice would be to remember Brucs's
spider and keep at it. There will prob
ably be another presidential election in
four years, and he is not yet an old man.
Say, Mr.. Bryan. did you send your con-
gratulations to Mr.. Taft when the vote
was declared, as Judge Parker did to
the winning man four years agop
