| Friday, February 4th, after a very pleas
ant and successful term, taught by Mrs.
B. LAborn. Mrs. Aborn has done splendid
work in the school this term, having or
ganized a School League in which the
pupils have taken great interest. They
raised money enough at their Christmas
entertainment to buy nice dictionary
mirror, etc, for the schoolroom. Mrs.
Aborn has won the respec and esteem
of both parents and pupils, and we all
hope to welcome her back next term.
CENTER uONTviLLE.
Yes, what we need right now is snow
fall that will make good travelling. The
mill yards are empty, and stored ice is
weeping itself away for an enveloping
blanket of sawdust, which cannot be OBJ
tanned until conditions change. Since
the heavily loaded line three of the Knox
& Montville Tel. Co. has been cut in two
the service is excellent and greatly ap-
preciated. j. F. Ramsay is just home
from Pittsfield where he has been the
guest of his daughter, Mrs. E. O..
/ Clement.-Benjamin Boynton, Jr., has
gore to Rockport to work in limekiln.
&c. L. Edmunds has added band
saw to his machinery. 1t is the best one
in this section.- Mrs. Elzira Randall is
ill.-B. f. Thompson has not been as
we'll for the past week.-Elmer Elan
ders of Morrill,, who has been working
for Leslie Nash the past three weeks,

ceived the blow of the ak, which has LAID
him up for few days. George Ed

MONROE.
The social and sale of the Monroe W.
c. 7. U. was a success in every way. We
had the patronage of all, and wishto sim
cerely thank them. We also wish to
thank outsiders who so kindly contrib
uted articles, candy and cake, for our
sale. The net proceeds were $27. 63, all
coming from the sale of articles and the
cake and ice cream as there was no
charge for admittance. We also wish
to thank the Odd Fellows, who kindly
offered US the use of their hall and assist
ed us all they could. The money will GO
toward helping to have services at the
church. Geo. Palmer drew the quilt by
guessing the number of beans in bottle.
Albert Durham went to Gardiner
Saturday to attend the funeral of his
nephew, Cyrus Dolloff. The remains
of Cyrus Dolloff of Gardiner, son of
Manter and Carrie Dolloff, both former
residents of Monroe, were brought here
for burial February 7th. 1t is a very
sad case indeed. He was finely edu-
Gated young man and had good position
as teacher in Easton. His father was
a resident of Belfast for several years
and both he and his wife were raised
near the village where they have host
of friends who extend their warmest
sympathy. Freddie Billings has been
seriously sick the past two days with
pneumonia but is now thought to be out
of danger if nothing sets in.-Miss
Gertrude Weber from Massachusetts
has been in town. Her mother, Mrs.
Freeman Kicker, had been visiting her
and she accompanied her home. The
masquerade given by Odd Fellows Feb
ruary End was well attended and added
quite little sum to their contingent
fund. 1t is very cold at the present
writing. There is plenty of snow now
when It gets trodden down for lumber
ing.--Bad colds are prevalent in this
! section.
