 It appears that the published vol umes of the names of heads of families in the United States. as appearing in the first census taken in 179O, are now ready for distribution. Rev. A. Gardner, his daughter and Miss Robbins attended Divine service at the chapel, Holland eide, Sunday afternoon. MT. Gardner presided at the EndeavOr in the evening. The Baptist Ladies' Aid have salt for sale, barrel of it. at ten cents bag. This is very superior dry salt, and thoss who wish to pur- chase will find an opportunity at the parsonage.
 George Baker of Mansfield has made the necessary repairs to the belfry of the Baptist church, and the bell is ready for service again after it's three weeks rest, and it is safe to say that all are glad to hear it's call once more. The Advance remarks that there are quite a number of ministers who are not going to Europe this summer. " and the Christian Register asks ''What is quite a number?'' "Why, the number who remain at home, to be sure ''
 If that man Is & public benefactor who makes two blades of grass grow hwhere but one grew before, the field that is being reclaimed east of the big barn on the farm owned by the late LeGrand Johnson will be 8 pub- lio benefaction.
 There are some who will recall K |. M. Bartlett coming to attend an Asso- oiational meeting with MT. Merrick, .eand of his preaching the Association al sermon, that made a lasting im- pressiOn. He was also at the funeral of Mrs. Albert Sharp.

 Years ago nearly every one who pretended to cultivate flowers at all had a seedling verbena bed that per- petuated itself year after year, but after a while the fad had it's day, but Mrs. Oosgrove has kept it up, and her verbena bed is worth 8 drive to Oozycroft to see, and to smell.

 By an inadvertance last4sweek, we did not mention among those receiving sympathy as near and dear relatives of the late Rev. Charles H. Brown, the family of Mrs Brown. We think marriage has seldom made a stronger tic than in the case of Mr. Brown and MT. and Mrs. Oosgrove and family. They loved him as an own son and he was equally appreciative of them, and their pleasant home was always a haven of rest for him.
 There are uncrowned queens who reign in homes and in hearts, and of queens who are crowned. We are glad to read that the wife of King Edward VII, Alexandria. who all the world has long admired, is grieved that the common people of her realm are saying that since the death of the good Queen Victoria the court is growing lax, and she has made new and strenuous rules regarding dress and games and prevailing social cus- toms, that the special realm in which she rules supreme may be beyond criticism If those who have made adverse remarks follow her lead, they will do we'll and make of themselves queens in their own environment.
 Going to West Willington nowanays is like fairy story, and an interesting one. When you start you have no idea where you are going or where you are coming out. and every day makes so many changes that when you arrive at certain points you don't.know for sure where you are at. A stupendous work is being done. that will be of great and lasting benefit. The hills melt away, the narrow, brushy road way becomes a boulevard broad and smooth, stones and rocks disappear verify we are seeing great things como to pass. And it is all 8 part of the romance of the motor car, for whether we ride ourselves or see others we cannot help being fascinated and interested.
