Royal Moulton, who has been saving
in Mortified in late months, with a
portable mill, was so very unfortunate
as to lose portions Of three fingers on
one hand, that were caught BY the saw.
Our ex.townsmen, Return S. Davis

Mrs. Perley Chandler and daughter of
Barre City are yet at the home Of Mrs.

We hardly recall pleasanter spot in

to get it al, one should remain for the
later autumn scenery Whereabouts, which
Is just superb at times.
The Congregational ladies' aid society
is yet DESTROYS to get more old newspa-

They can be left with Rev. D. H. Strong
OF with Edwin Whitney, and they will
be very gratefully received BY this So
ciety.
OF course, every man has his fad.
Our own is walking, which has just
been boosted several pegs. The Brook
lyn, N. y, Daily Eagle recently said
"The story is often told of how John
Morrisey cured himself Of Bright's dis
ease, after his case was pronounced
hopeless by the most eminent special
lists, and, by mis- own training which
consisted principally Of walking"
Our former townsman, 0sman q.
Weeden, reached his saith birthday last
June 81. He mas this season moved
from near Kansas City, Mo, to Yelling
ton, Kan, which is in Sumner county,
one Of the southern tier of counties in
that state When Mr.. Weeden first went
TO Kansas lie went to Wellington, where
he lived twenty years and took up land
for farm, we think. Last winter was
SO severe that he lost 100 acres Of wheat
and last summer was SO hot he will not
get a quarter Of an average crop Of corn.
The oat and the fruit crops are good.
He writes Of having recently visited
lis brother, William, who is 81 years old
but quite smart and in good health.
His only living sister Mrs. Amanda
Weeden Stark, lives in Wisconsin, and
is in very poor health. His brother,
Cogswell is as well as usual lie sends
kindest regards to all old friends here
and wants them to know that @the old
man is very much alive yet"
Among the very pleasant memories
of a long life are those Of years spent
in the CHEEKY company that we found
at one time in the store Of the late
Perley Chandler Of Barre City What d
genial rare man he was, only those
could know who saw him, as some of'us
did, in those years. But not little Of
the enjoyment Of that time grew out
Of the presence Of the jolly hello girls"
