this very favorable notice OF herself and
her work tbere:-" Miss Annie f. Scott,
who has been the nurse in the home OF

Mrs. Chester Hood came from South
Royaltcn Saturday to open the o. P.
Hood house on Central street in prepare
ton for the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs. Hood
and Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Fielders and
son, Dean, after a winters soiourn at
Southern Pines, N. c. The little boy,
for " hose sake the change to Southern
climate was made, thrived spendidly, es-
Gaping the colds and other ailments that
have been so serious menace to his
health in cold weather. The older men,
bers of the party enjoyed the compare
lively mild Temperature of Southern
Pines, which had only two inches OF
snow for short periods in the winter
months and was visited by but one or
two ice storms. II is distant about seven
miles from Lakeview, the resort frequent
ed by Rev. and Mrs. @. o. Howe. Mrs.
Chester Hood went back to South Royal
ton Monday night MIR. and Mrs. Field
ers and son, who had been living in
South RoyRlton, are to remain with their
relatives in Randolph until they decide
upon another location.
Rev. and Mrs. George o. Howe reached
Randolph last Thursday after winter in
their cottage at Lakeview, N. c., where
for the last ten weeks Of their stay they
had with them Mrs. Howe's sister, Mrs.
Emily Stockweil, and the latter's grand
daughter, Miss Susie Stockwell, OF Roch
ester. The party visited Richmond and
on the journey and at Wash
ington encountered Rev. and Mrs. v. M.
Hardy, who had been fellow colonists at
Lakeview during the winter and we're
homeward bound to Morrisville. They
bad likewise been to Richmond, starting
the 25th ult., from Lakeview,
IS hioh the Howe party quilted the pre-
Vioua Saturday. Mrs. Stoekwell and Miss |
Susie did not come to Randolph but pro-
ceeded straight to Rochester, as Miss
Susie had to begin teaching in Hancock
Monday. In spite of cooler weather than
usual the past season, Mr.. and Mrs.
Howe are still delighted With Lakeview /
md its winter climate, and Mrs. Howe /
mas lately purchased there tract of 100 I
lcres within easy distance OF the lake. 4
rhe roads Of that section are very at
ractive feature to tourists, who find good (
Imooth highways for motoring. Under 4
he top soil of sand is a stratum of clay
bat worked up into the sand makes the
inest kind of a road bed, which never be-
ZONES muddy because sand below teaches
he water away.
The Randolph board of trade has
urned its attention to landscape garden
ng and proposes to add q few beauty
pots to the village this summer. To
hat end it has graded the triangular
,iece Of ground below the Stockwell
flock, carted loan onto it and seeded it
Town. The present plan is to give it an
dge of dark red geraniums and plant
alvias in the corners, which will make
decidedly attractive oasis between Main
nd Pleasant streets. The public is
sked to cooperate in this good work to
he extent of keeping off the plot and
living the grass and shrubs chance.
ome 40 years ago this datiron lot
gas bought of the late Judge Wes-
on for 500 by William Mann who
ived then where he does now, facing the
pen strip; by his next door neighbor,
he late Benjamin Allen, in what is now
he bakery building, and by A. Fl.
feeble, at that time in the old Cottage
otel on the present site OF the Morton
nd Edison blocks. The object Of its pur-
base by the three men was to keep it
rec from buildings which would obstruct
be view of the Pleasant street houses,
nd every attempt at encroschment upon
has been firmly resisted ever since.
-ately Mr.. Mann has given his right in
be land to the board OF trade with the
that no buildings or high
hrubs shall be allowed to occupy it. The
ark on Central street, just north OF the
overed bridge, is also to be graded and
