Not so good patronage was given the
supper of Paris Grange last Tuesday
evening as it deserved, but the ball
which followed had large attendance,
and was one of the most enjoyable
events of the kind for the season.

Flora Murch, Miss Florence Richardson.
The students of the high school play
ed Cranberry Corners" at Bucktield
Friday night, TO fairly good house.
The journey was not an entirely enjoy
able feature of the night, as the snow
storm began soon after they started in
the afternoon, and was much heavier
over the mountain than here in the val
ley, so that there was some difficulty in
making the way back in the middle of
the night.
There will be an eclipse of the moon
Wednesday evening, which, while il is
not total, is pretty near it, and it is the
only eclipse that will be visible here this
wear. The moon enters the penumbra
or partial shadow at SAL in the evening,
aud the middle of the eclipse is reached
at ii IA, when about nine-tenths of the
disc of the moon will be in the shadow.
The end of the eclipse is reached at
l245 in the morning.

otism which had been written by stu
dents of the high school in competition

ball Post, G. A. X, were read in Grand
Army Hall. For several reasons there
were only a few present. Three
contestants appeared, Stephen Cliff.
ford, Miss Lulu Davis and VIM
field Brooks. Their essays were all
thoughtful and we'll written, and all
showed a good knowledge of history.
After somewhat lengthy elaboration by
the judges the prizes of 80, 81 and 81
respectively were awarded, first to Mr..
Clifford, second to Miss Davis, third to
Mr.. Brooks.
After the 10th of March hooks weigh
ing over four pounds will be mailable at
parcel post rates. Books weighing less
than four pounds still come under the
law regarding third-class matter, at one
cent for each two ounces. A similar
provision is already in force regarding
"miscellaneous printed matter" in pack
ages weighing over four pounds. The
popularity Of the situation is this: The
Democrat office, for Instance, can mail
package of handblls weighing three
pounds and fifteen ounces, al cost OF
thirty-two cents, third class. III the
package weighs four pounds and one
ounce. it can be mailed anywhere in the
first zone for nine cents. 1t doesn't take
Philadelphia lawyer to find the reme-
dy from the mailer's standpoint.
Friday night of this week the senior
class of Paris High School will give the
fifth and last of the series of entertain
ments that has been given for their ben
eft this school year. All of the pre-
ceding ones have been of excellent quail
ity and liked very much by those who
have attended them. This next one is
by no means an exception, consisting of
picture plays, three in all, Lorna Doone,
The Sky Pilot and The Little Minister,
present ed by Albert Armstrong, imper-
senator, illustrator and traveller. These
entertainments have cost a great deal
owing TO their Sne quality, and the SEN
Tor class has not the patronage at these
shows to derive revenue TO pay their
bills So encourage everyone to come
and enjoy themselves and at the same
time help the class. Tickets on sale at
Howard's drug store, Tuesday, March
10, at 0 O'Clock. Admission 35c, chill
dren under ~ l5c.
The Democrats next serial story will
be ''Seven Keys to Baldpate," by Earl
Derr Biggers. This story, by the way.
has been made over into a play which
has been one of the successes of the sea-
son. 1t is immensely entertaining.
Without desiring to criticlse what the
Democrat is presenting, 1t may be re-
marked that there are certain peculiar
features about il. For instance, the
characters nearly all talk in style
