Successful Social.

The supper social given by the
Presbyterian ladies at the Manse
Thursday evening was a great sue
cess. The crowd began coming at
five O'Clock, and as soon as one per-
son was done eating another slipped
into his place. They were still stand
ing about anxiously watching those
fortunate enough to be at the table
at seven o'clock, and the ladies were
doing their utmost to serve all.
The evening was enlivened by
music on the piano, cornet and violin
and a social time was enjoyed by
all.
1t was brought forcibly to the at
tention of many that the people Of
the Presbyterian church lack place
sufficiently large and suitable for
such an occasion, and there was talk
of arranging such a place in the near
future.
The supper was fine, and the ser
vice good considering the large
crowd that thronged the house.
About $4,000 was made by the
social.

People Want Roosevelt.

Former President Roosevelt has
formerly announced that he is in
the race for the nomination for
president. The fight will now mar
row down to President Taft and
Col. Roosevelt. Great pressure has
been brought to bear upon Mr..
Roosevelt to get him to consent to
use of his name. The contest will
be a spirited one. President Taft
has the advantage of being in Office
and In control of federal patronage.
This will give him the South prac.
tically solid and will also be a pow
erful factor in the northern states.
In addition to this, President Taft
has many powerful friends in every
community who will go to the very
limit for him. Undeniably, Col.
Roosevelt appears to be the popular
choice of the people at this time. If
the Roosevelt sentiment can be
crystalized into a fighting unit and
be properly directed and managed
there is no question what the result
will be at the Chicago convention

Parents Day at the Schools.

The giving over of a day to the
parents, inviting them specially,
and affording an opportunity to see
the various classes at their work.
and to inspect the finished work
that is placed on exhibition, was pro
ductive of good results. On Fri
day some two hundred answered
the call and were at the Washing
ton building, while at the Webster
there were over one hundred.
Teachers and officials would like
to see the time come when more of
the parents and citizens who sup
port the schools would come in at
any hour and see what is being
done. Would like to see those who
should be interested, and doubtless
are in way, manifest that interest
by calling for an hour and seeing
just what the work of the school is,
In order to arouse interest these
days are arranged, and special in
vltatlOn sent to come and see every
day work. They want the parents
to be interested in the work of the
school, not simply in some special
exhibition day. Prof. Mcdowell
says, "Come in any time. You are
welcome.

Pumped Some Water.

From the Rochester Sentinel we
learn of a record breaking perform
ance in the pumping of water. One
evening this week the engineer at the
plant found that water was being
taken in rather large quantities,
and speeded up to supply the demand
He pumped over 100000 before mid
night, and continued his perform
ance till in the morning it was dis
covered that the water mains had
burst in serveral places. The thaw-
err started the water. the leaks show
ed up.
Of course the damaged pipes had
to be cut out and new ones put in
as fast as possible, which is some
job In this kind of weather
The same paper tells of service
pipes that were thawed out, and
then allowed to freeze again, the
owners not seeming to realize that
the pipes, being encased in frozen
ground would Immediately close
again as soon as the current of
water was stopped The thawing
out job south Of the courthouse on
Main street was all for naught.
Costs a little to pay for the water
that is wasted, but much less than
to pay for the thawing out, and be
sides the inconvenience of being
without water so long.
Our people have talked of the in
convenience here by frozen pipes,
but while a very few of the hydrants
in Plymouth have been frozen, no
water main has been put out of
commission by this means or any
other so far. When compared with
other cities about us, we have In
deed been fortunate.
