The fruit delivery team OF Cne 1OlICC
fruit store backed over the bank near
Mrs. Maggie Clark's last Thursday,
and for short time there was decl-
ded 'fall' in fruit of all kinds. For
tunately neither driver nor horse were
seriously injured.
A small audience greeted Avis Page
in ''The Farmers Daughter" at Lanes
last Thursday evening. The leading
part in the play is said to have been
we'll taken. The lateness of the sea-
son and surfeit of theatricals during
the season just passed account no
doubt for the small attendance.
A hearing was held before U. S.
Commissioner John Young, last week
Monday in the case ofEgzear Darcy of
Oxford, Que, on a charge of import
ing into this country a certain Rosa
Martel. The respondent was held IN
bonds of $1,000, for appearance at U.
S. Court to be held at Windsor.
The Young friends of Miss Mary Da-
Wis rendered her surprise party on
Saturday evening in honor of her hi
teenth birthday. Mrs. Annie Davis,
mother of Miss Mary, had been in
formed of what was to happen and was
in measure prepared, so that the Wis
itors were pleasantly entertained.
Arthur Corliss, who went short
time ago, to Pasadena, CAL, for his
health, has returned home. He was
ACCOMPANIED by Elmer Wilson. The
unexpected return to Vermont was
necessitated by the sudden death OF
Mr.. Wilson's wife. Corliss is undecid-
ed as vet whether or not he will return
to Pasadena.
BICYCLES are again coming into favor
especially among the boys. We see
them in all sizes from the 70 inch wheel
of Master Reginald Hamilton up to
regulation. Sidewalk riding has been
indulged in to some extent, but that
will probably be discontinued, as there
is no excuse where the streets are In
such perfect shape.
A bad fire in the Camp block was
narrowly averted on Friday when
chimney burned out and ignited the sur
rounding woodwork. The fire had ap'
parently been smouldering for a Ions
time when discovered. Had it hap
pened at night much damage woulC
undoubtedly have resulted. The blaze
was extinguished without the aid Of
the fire company.
Principal H. B. Parker Of the New.
port High school, has been reelected
by the school board to remain anothe
year, but expects to go to Westmoun
,, near Montreal where he has a more
lucrative position with better chanc
of promotion. Mr.. Parker has bee
: very efficient here, both as a professo
and principal and his departure TO
other fields of labor is to be regretted
a The annual repairing of the steame
: Lady of the Lake has been commence
by the Boston & Maine railroad, an
6 the boat will be in good shape for SCI
:, vice by the time the summer travel be
y gins. With the Lady of the LAX
Il making her trips as usual and tf
Steamer Anthems from Magog con
e ing into this port three times wee
r as has been reported, business ought
n be brisk on the lake this summer.
An alarm of fire was rung in las

I'd company running in all directions,
