ly torn up in anticipation of the
coming of the soldiers monument,

monument. soldier and all, is well

Mr.. A. L Hubbard has the best
garden in the village, so say those
who have looked around some, and
it is certainly Aourishing plot OF
ground. Potatoes, peas, corn, beans,
and other truck" are way ahead of
anything else in these parts, and
everything seems to be growing as
fast as such things can grow in the
not too favorable weather of the past
month or two. Mr. Hubbard's
neighbors say he plants his garden
the year before, or else scrapes away
the snow in the early spring and
drops his seed, but the NEEDLESS con
dition of the ground probably ac-
counts for tile progressive condition
of things.
