NORTH THETFORD.

Last Sunday being Children's
day, the afternoon was given over
to the Sabbath School, and a pro-
gram of usual excellence was pre-
pared for and given by the children
The exercises were perhaps more
varied than usual, and every num-
Der was interesting and well given.
and if one were to attempt to spec
ify the particularly good things the
list must certainly include them all.
A short address by Pastor Japson
was much enjoyed. The church
was beautifully decorated for the
occasion by the young people of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. p. Hadlock's
classes. The effect produced would
rank with professional work and
has been the subject of much fa-
vorable comment since, and aside
from the, taste shown in arrange
ment there was evidence of much
hard work in the placing and the
quantity of greenery, wild flowers,
ferns and plants used, and for the
benefit of any not able to attend we
venture poor description. The
steps, front of platform and rear
wall were hidden in hemlock green
dotted with daisies, as was broad
arch spanning the platform and
bearing the words, "Children's
Day." The piano and organ were
apparently masses of ferns and
plants, the chandelier was a gar
land Of flowers, and the lamp brack-
cts along the side walls all held
Towering plants, and each window
was deeply framed in green and
wild flowers, the effect of the whole
being something to be remembered.
An innovation this year was the Sc
lection of a committee of arrange
ments from among the ladies of the
younger generation, those chosen
being Mrs. Otis Bond, Mrs. Fred |
Clay, Miss Drusilla Morris and Miss !
Stella Whittemore, and the result !
of the training of the children last |
should assure us we have |
young people competent and ready |
to take hold of their share of the |
work when needed. The evening |
service of song by the choir, ar
ranged and conducted by Mrs. w.
L. Murfey, was much enjoyed, and
they have had to listen to some
very complimentary remarks on the
successful way in which their vocal
was carried out. Another
similar service is to be given soon.
At the caucus Tuesday at Thet-
ord Center John A. Mead delegates

veDtion were, H. F. Wilcox, W. w.

THE TWO CONVENTIONS
Republicans and Democrats Meet
at Same Hour Saturday.
PAID BY Oskaioosa dealers for live

Owing to the fact that under the
primary law both the Republican and
Democratic conventions must meet
upon the same day and at the, same
hour, 1t became necessary to find two
convention halls, as it might have
been a little confusing to have two
meetings in progress at one time in
the old accustomed place, the district
court room.
AS the democrats have nothing on
their program except the selection Of
delegates to the state convention and
as it is possible that all delegates will
not be present, the officers of the
local committee consented to the use
of the Farmers Club room in order
that the republicans might use the
court room.
1t is figured that owing to the fac.
tional fight for the control of dele
gates and because of a vacancy on
the ticket to be filed, that the repub-
licans will have q full house on
Saturday.
Both conventions are called to meet
at IL o'clock in the morning. James
A. Dewitt will be temporary chair
man of the republican assembly and
Senator Ream chairman of the dem
ocratic convention.

Hog Purchases Tuesday.
Market Notes.

The receipts of cattle were so small
Tuesday and the quality was so poor
that It was a slow sticky market for
what there was sold. Most of the
big buyers remained inactive and the
small volume of business was done
with the city butchers or spectators,
The advanced car report indicated
good sized run in sight for Wednes-
day and the regular buyers figures
that they would have a chance to get
their steers lower then.
Buyers are complaining of the bad
markets for beef in the east. Cows
and heifers sold steady but 1t was a.
slow trade and very few were wanted.
No change was noted in the market
Tuesday for stockers and feeders.
Fresh arrivals were limited and the
quality was poor. A fair attendance
OF buyers from the country was OBJ
served, but they we're bearish and
we're looking for lower prices.
Packers claimed to be loaded up
with mutton, which they bought SO
freely week before last. Reports
from the east are discouraging and
they look for lambs to go much low
e..
Grass sheep from the far west met
with poor reception Tuesday and
p ices were 1O@15c lower. Native
ewes held steady while good spring
lambs were 10@15c higher; all the
common and medium lambs were
steady 1t was badly mixed up
trade and buyers showed that they
did not want very large supply of
anything.
