lis well defeat doth perch on J.
..Hooray hooray !"

4 neier had grace into your face
TO hook again had Bryan won"
William Skinner Of Royalton was in
town Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Leeds of High
land avenue entertained a large company
Tuesday night. Continuous election re-
turns were received over a direct wire
throughout the evening, and as the night
progressed. the fun waxed fast and furi-
Gus, ending in q goodbye song to Mr..
Bryan. The party broke up after mid
night.
George 81. Slack viii put in the.founda-
tion this fall for new house on High
land avenue and win complete it's erec-
ton another season. It viii be q two
story structure, 24x2s feet in the main
part. and with an ell 14x20 feet. Mr..
Slack has also sold to DR.. e. n. Stearns a
building lot s0x172 feet, lying between
Highland avenue, South Pleasant and
Maple streets. The doctor intends to
build on this tract next year.
Joyousas the election returns are to
the people Of Randolph, they cannot re-
frain from q little sympathy for their
=
sex Junction. who has been steadily
lprophesying the election Of Bryan, and
i that, too without any shadow OF waver-
ing or turning until towards the last he
iponceded that the vote might possibly be
''close." AS seer, Mr.. Thayer seems to
be troubled with political cataracts on
both eyes, but IL is felt by his old ac-
quaintances that his prophetic soul would
be sufficiently controlled by bis we'll
known shrewdness TO prevent his betting
heavily on his own predictions.
Il p. J. Cowles OF Burlington, formerly
cashier Of the Hardwick Savings Bank
and Trust company, was in town last
week for the purpose OF interesting the
people Of this place in the establishment
Of q savings bank and trust company in
Randolph. He approached q few busi-
ness men with his proposal. which was to
obtain signers at f5 apiece TO q paper ask
ing the legislature to grant the charter
for such a banking coucern, and be pro-
fesssd to know moneyed men outside the
town, who stand ready to provide half
the funds necessary to start such an insti-
tuition. He was here only one day and
did not, il that space OF time, get the
movement for = new bank very inr nd-
