When fevers and other epidemics are •round, safety lies in fortifying the system with Ayor's yarsaparilla. -A person liav- ing thin and impure blood, is in the favorable condition to " catch " whatever disease may be floating in the air. Bo wise in tiina. The policu trustees insert an advt. in this issue warning people te keep tho ob- joctionaWe animals off the stieet. We Would niipeal to the people to hearken to their w.i' 11 ing and avoid n;»y UTipIousant- ness. It is proposed to enforce the law in this regard this summer. A child was cured of cfoup by adoso or two of Aycr's Cherry Pectoral. A neigh- bor's child died I'f tho same dreud disease, while the father wa.s getting ready to call « doctor. This shows the necessity of having Ayer's Cherry Pectoral always on hand. Extensive iniprovomcnts will be made •n> the Methodist church and gnmuds this suiniuor. Already a large mnouiit of extra th'.d accomimrdatiou has been add- ed and the roof is being reshingled. The church will be painted in^ido with hand- s' me designs and renovated in such a way as to be much more pleasing to the eye than it has been in tlie past. Mr. Jidin Bellamy has the job of shingling. The job of painting has not yet been let.

Arbor Day Celebration Aibor Day was a red letter for the little people of ihe public s^boul this year. .\ftcr a day of pleasant occupation about the school yrounds, etc., tbo evening eutertuiiiiuent in ihe Town Plall wa6 a fitting climax. This was gotten up sole- ly by iLe scholars wiih no one to assist, and was very successful in the way of entcrtaiumeu'. Mr. M. Richardson, who occupied the chair, was iu his happiest mo<>d, aiid made an e.xcc'.lent presiding officer. The proceedings were opened w~hh a chorus by the schoid en- titled, ''The winter storms have passed bway," after which an opeiiinu prayer was otforrd by Rev. Mr. Muhan.

Sonic of th'j choruses were loudly encored and demanded a second time. The cxc».'lleiice of the music and the sing int; was a matter of surprise when it was remembered that the cbiliireii-hacl no one to tiain them, and as the pruicipal said in a few explanatory remaiks, were "fuilty " of the whole tliiii!; tlieinselves. The hall was crowded to tho do. is with a very appreciitive audience who all hi'pe tiklive to see an 'tlier Arbiir Day. PERSCN.\L3 Mr. Wm, Claik returned to New Jersey last week Rev.
