made her home for number of years.
Their many friends wish them much
happiness and prosperity.
Carl French returned Saturday morn
ing from Maine. The rain on Friday
helped very materially in getting con-
troll of the forest fires. At one time
their township was practically sur
rounded by fire. About 300 acres of
second growth was burned over This
had attained about ID years growth.
They were very fortunate in sustaining
so small loss. as from 1000 to
40, 600 acres of timber land was burned
over around them.
A large and appreciative audience
greeted the members of the chorus in
the Congregational church Sunday eve
ming, at their first appearance for the
season. The service was well rendered
and appreciated by all. Two excellent
solos were rendered. one by Miss Ella
Stafford the other by Mr.. Dickson of
Stanstead, P. O., who is taking Mr.
Parker's place at the freight station

ton. Earl Twombly. Karl Webster and

The selectmen have about completed
their part of the new iron bridge, with
the possible exception of putting on
more gravel to meet the height of the
new road approaching the bridge. A
slight accident occurred on the bridge
last week. Mr.. Ramsdell was cartlng
gravel to be placed on top OF the
bridge material and in distributing it
drove on some of the green concrete
and of course there was collapse, do
ing very little damage however. Al
ter the stone approaches to the SIDE
walk of the bridge are completed the
trustees will concrete the work. We
will then have bridge that we can
we'll be proud Of In fact there is no
better bridge ii the county.

GOOD ROADS DO PAY
Chapman Seeks Country Trade By
Building Them.

CHAPMAN, Dec. 1.-THE A1ver-
tiser says: The macadamizing OF q
niece of road near Barnes, northwest
Of town, which was done under the
direction of the Chapman commercial
club, was finished last week. ). j.
Cushing had charge Of the work.
There were about 80 rods OF ROAD
covered. This is BY far the best
thing the club has done since the Or
ganization. Fifty years ago there
was some excuse for bad roads for our
country was poor. But now II ~
rich and there is no excuse A gooo
road is to be deserved, and as source
Of comfort and convenience to every
traveller. Good roads attract popula'
ton as we'll as good schools, churches,
Good roads improve the value Of
property, SO that it is said a farm
lying five miles from Market con-
neoted by bad road, is OF less value
than an equally good farm connected
by good road. A larger load can be
drawn by one horse over a good ROAD
than by two over bad one. GOOD
roads encourage the greater exchange
Of products and commodities between
one section and snothor. Good road'
are Of great value to railroads ant
feeders. 1t should be the pride OF al
township officials to see that the ROAD
in their respective districts receive
the best Of attention, as far IS th'
amount Of money on hand will justify
