UNION.
 Some people seem to feel that old Molly and her feathered friends are not thinking of possibilities. The Somers Creamery Go. is paying 87C per pound for butter fat, and eggs are from 45c to 500 per dozen. A man in neighboring town reports that he travelled 15 miles and collected eight dozen fresh eggs.
 Coon hunters seem to have been abroad last Saturday night. Never mind So long as they are not in. vestigating hen roosts let them go un. molested, even if their melodious (?l voices and daehing lanterns are a little disturbing to peaceful alumber- CTS. Hope they had a fat coon for their Sunday dinner. if they did not arrive home i'm season to have coon steak for breakfast.
 We hear that Sunday school Is to be started in Rock Meadow. If all enter heartily into the work, as no doubt they will. it ought to be a great success. There is a fine group of children and young people, as we'll as older ones, In that part of the town, and Rev. Hugh Graham ia an en- thusiastiC teacher, making the lessons interesting as we'll as practical. If the little schoolhouse overflows, there is always room and a hearty welcome at the Center.
 The appointment of Mir Wilkins to the office of librarian seems to be a case of the right man in the right place. MT. Wilkins and Mir. Tyler's family, with whom he resides, have been appreciative patrons of the Ii. brary since they came to Union about year ago. Mir. Tyler is an invalid, but whenever there has been oppor. tunity the family has manifested 8 helpful public spirit that has been much appreciated. Such people are a welcome addition to our population, and there is always room for more.
 At the Sunday morning service Rev. Hugh E. Graham preached from the 10th chapter of second Samuel, verses 11-12. He drew helpful les. sons from the four points which he made: mutual helpfulness, manly heroism, Godly patriotism. submission to the will of God. At the com munion service a member was added to the church. Deacon E. N. Law son gave some interesting and touch ing "reminiscences of the past history of the church and of his own ex. periences. Deacon Lawson is not en- toying his customary health and strength, and his friends appreciate the effort which he made to come over the hills last Sunday. May he be spared to meet with us many times l
 Mashapaug Lake grange varied its customary program last week by hay. ing a little harvest exhibition. The results prove that Union soil is yet capable of producing an abundance of good things that are not classed with the genus pinus. There were several exhibitors, but the honors surely be- longed to Mr. and Mrs R. B. Horton and MT and Mrs. Willard Richards, who had display of corn, vegetables, fruit, butter, canned fruit, pickles, jellies, etc that would have made creditable exhibit at any agricultural fair. H. F. Oorbin had sample of his choice eranberries. Although eighty years young. MT. Oorbin has harvested several bushels of oran- berries without assistance. He is not only an active worker on the farm, but he takes lively and loyal interest in church and grange.
