Mrs Harry Noyes motored up from
Boston to attend the graduation of
uIeCG, MISS L dIIlCld
Harold P Crosby former prin-
cipal of Newbury High School, now
the principal of the Williamstown
School, was gladly received by his
many friends in Newbury, and al
though his stay was brief, and his
visits not half made, the citizens of
this place want him to know that
any time he sees fit to visit them the
key to the city is his and every latch
string out. Come again, we all want
to hear that hearty laugh.
We understand that Mrs Sidney
Perkins had only Is drop in on her
for supper last Thursday evening,
and for her that was not much of
day for company either. We have
noticed that crop of kids which were
ushered into the world in the decade
of the ffties were made of mighty
good stuff. Prosperity and adversely
does not phase them, and little
matter of Is for supper is considered
a trifle.
Some say that James Southworth
is a little slow, but say what you are
a mind to, he got there alright last
Thursday night.
At the close of the spring term
the following pupils in the Primary
school had no absent marks: Eliza

last Tuesday the remains of their
son, Charles, for interment in the
Oxbow Burying Ground Old time
friends and neighbors gathered at the
grave and expressed their sympathy
for the stricken parents in the loss
of their son, promising young man
of % years. Mr. and Mrs Laskey
keenly appreciate the presence of
their friends at this time, especially
the comforting words of their former
pastor, the Rev. o w Brock. Their
stay in town was limited, and they
did not have time to meet all their
friends, but they sincerely appreciat-
ed every attention shown them and
wish to thank everyone.
