From dripping cellar wall;
| And our stores cannot be found,
Save, in March. by stopping round.
Overhead the sun is shining.
Birds are calling clear and sweet;
| Underfoot in leaking rubbers
| We are slushing through the street;
| And the rubber trust confound.
| As in March we're sloppins round.

The dance given by the Rebekahs in

the Randolph High school, has resigned
her position in order to take we'll
earned rest after Is years of continuous
service, during IL of which this school

struction, she has also the rare faculty of
keeping I'm touch with the interests of
her pupils and of finding unaffected
pleasure in the routine of their school
days and their individual development.

Granville w. Barnes, whose place of
business on Merchants Row has been
nearly 80 years a favorlte rendezvous for
his comrades of the Grand Army and 9TH
er congenial spirits, finds himself too
much enfeebl by the infirmities of age
to remain longer in charge of the estab.
lishment. His retirement is a matter of
regret, not only to the habitues of the
place. but also to those who have come
to regard it as one of the institutions of
the village and sincerely deplore the final
dissolution of ssBarnes' Parliament" as
they have been wont in kindly raillery
to dub the daily assembly of choice COM
panions. Here the old soldiers and their
friends have gathered in social conclave
and, enveloped in the smoke of good fell
lowship, have given judicial considera-
tion and impartial discussion to weighty
affairs of state as well as lighter matters
of local import. Wit polished against
wit has scintillated more brilliantly and
many a bon mot has set the circle in
roar. In the passing years familiar faces
have been missed, but the genial proprie-
tor still remained to welcome the rest and
none other can quite fill his place. The
old stand has been rented by Jesse II.
Blodgett for a restaurant, where meals
will be served at all hours and q line of
canned goods and candy will be carried.
