The matter will be taken up by the trustees later. Professor Stoneberg has had another place offered him which is much better and more lucrative than the one he now holds Before he leaves the college, though, he will have some one take up his work of supervising the big egg laying contest that is going on.

When near the home of Charles Nichols Durham saw a big buck deer in the field. The dog started for 1t, but the deer did not pay any attention to the dog. The buck came towards MT.

WALMs.

The town of Wales will eventually
 have public library under the pro.
 visions of the will of Herbert A. Mo- Farland, who died at Wales on No. vember 26. The will, provides that MT. McFarland's widow shall have the use and benefit of her husband 's estate during her lifetime, but that after her death the bulk of it is to go to the town for the erection of Ii. brary to be known as the Mcfarland library building. All of the bequests as we'll as several private bequests are to be paid after the death of Mrs. Mcfarland. who is named as executrix of the will. The library building is also to contain the town offices, and if there is more than enough money to pay for the building of the library the balance is to form 8 fund the in- come of which is to be used in the purchase of new books and paying the expenses of maintaining the building. MT. Mcfarland provided for two funds for educational affairs, one of $2000 and the other of 5000, The income of the former Is to defray the expenses of buying books and furnishing trans- portation to Wales children who attend high schools in other towns, as there is no such school in the town. If there are not enough children to use up the income in this way the balance is to be spent on the common schools of the town. The income from the smaller fund is also to be used in the support of the common schools. MT. McFarland's will provides for one fund of $2000 and another of $500 for the Baptist church in Wales, the larger fund to be known as the Mary Houghton fund, the income from which is to go for the running ex- enses of the church, while the income from the other fund is to be spent in repairs to the ohuroh organ and in the purchase of additional musical equipment. The $500 fund given to the Congregational church in Holland Is for the running expenses of the so- ciety. It is understood that Mir. Mo- Farland's estate is somew hat com. plicated, and it may be that there will not be enough money to accom-. p1ish all the objects he planned for.
