At the two days sale to close out the
Romeo r. Chamberlin, which was held
Friday and Saturday, Charles +. Smith
of Barre, the well auctioneer, was
at his best, and he kept the bookkeeper,
Colonel II. o. Bixby, hustling to record
the sales. While the attendance was
not large, goods sold well and brought,
as a rule, satisfactory prices. The fix
lures were purchased by Wiram Morse,
who viii put in fresh stock OF meats
and groceries and conduct an upto-date
and clean meat market. Mr.. Morse is
well and favorably known here and in
the surrounding territory and will no
doubt enjoy liberal patronage, and it is
hoped that he may be CO. successful as
his immediate predecessor, the late X,
r. Chamberlin, was during the brief time
he conducted the Chelsea meat market.

Burt A. Eastman became temporarily |
unbalanced mentally Sunday and wan
dered away from his home in South |
Washington about noon, and the neigh
bors turned out and hunted for him |
nearly all the afternoon,2 finding him

from his home and escorting him to his
home. 1t is thought that his temporary
mental alteration is result of impaired
health, which has been of long standing.
