Patriots Day, while not giving US the
best possible spring weather, was COM
Portable April day until the first thunder
shower of the season struck us in the
middle of the afternoon. The Mason
Manufacturing Co.'s factory was shut
down for the day, though the Paris
Manufacturing Co. ran as usual. The
places of business generally were closed,
and people were out doors as much as
possible. The base ball season opened,
and with not more than dozen ex-
ceptions, every householder raked up his
or her lawn.
The rain of Wednesday and Thursday
sent our streams up about the nearest
freshet pitch that they have been in a
long time. Just north of the Park
Street bridge the water needed to have
risen but few inches more to come into
the road, which is quite little higher
than it was before the state road work
was done there. A lot of snow was car
ried off by the rain, which was warm for
the season at first, more or less frost was
taken ont of the ground-though there
isn't much there anyway-and no seri-
Gus damage was done.

Rust Post and Corps of Norway were the

j. II. Little acted as chairman, and there
were remarks by Rev. Messrs. Kewley,
CHESHIRE and McWhorter, and others who
spoke briefly. Mrs. A. G. Wheeler and
Miss S. NJ. Wheeler sang solos, and there
were several instrumental duets by the
Misses Dean. A good time all around.
Oue of the best suppers of the season,
was the universal verdict regarding the
supper at the Congregational vestry last
Tuesday evening, which was in charge
Of Miss Eva Walkers class. The young
ladies of the class spared no effort to
make this, the last supper of the season,
as good as possible, and their endeavors
met with success. A miscellaneous en-
tertainment was given after the supper,
which included violin solo by Miss Sara
SWEET, accompanied by Miss Nellie Jack,
sou, vocal solos by Miss S. NJ. Wheeler
and Rev. j. w. Chesbro, piano duet by
Misses Florence McArdle and Hilda
Chandler, readings by Miss airline
Croker and Rev. A. T. McWhorter, and
