Sunday. March lst, was somehow re-
: minder OF Sunday, March LIST 1895, just
eighteen years ago, only there wasn't

Mrs. Ida Vose Woodbury. spoke at the
Congregational church Sunday morning.
Those who braved the storm to 60 to
church were well repaid. She is a
speaker of great eloquence and power,
and her grasp on national affairs is Sec
ond to none. She held her audience for
over an hour and il seemed but few
minutes. Her address to the Sunday
School was also strong and practical.
She represents the work Of the Congre-
ga,ional church for the black men Of the

An error which, while excusable, is
chargeable to the printer, appears in the
town report. 10 the town officers bills, |
on page 6S, an item Of 1886 appears az
paid to Charles w. Bowker, selectman,
for services. Lower in the page is the |
item of 500 allowance to Mr.. Bowker |
for keeping books. This latter item
should not have been carried across into |
the column, as it was intended simply az |
an explanatory note, and the 500 allow
ance was included in the other item of |
1885. Any one who took the trouble to |
foot the column would discover that |
there was an error, but otherwise might
not
