QUARTER OF A CENTURY Item* Clipped from The ri*indo»lrr of February 18, 188ft. w« were misinformed in relation to the Southern trip of Henry Colby men* tioned last week. He is to be gone three or fonr weeks, instead of months, and goes for pleasure, not for bis health. We learn that N. S. Colby, Isaac Harsh, Freeman Whiting, Thos. Knox, Thos. Powers, and several others of our townsmen, whose names we did not learn, started for New Orleans on Mon day morning. The Ringwood Dramatic *club, which played the "Little Detective" at Grand hall on Thursday and Friday evenings of last week, was not, on account of the weather, greeted with as full houses as they deserved, but all who went are outspoken in their praise. At the Riverside skating rink on Thursday evening last, the prize for the best lady skater who had not skated be fore this winter was awarded to Miss Etta Parks. On Saturday evening the hurdle race was won by Earl Mead. The weather for the past week hae been simply terrible in this section, the thermometer ranging all the way from zero to thirty-two degrees below. The snow has delayed the trains more or less the past week, and business gener­ ally has been at a standstill. The old­ est inhabitant never saw so severe a winter in this section before.

A simple means of abating to a cer­ tain extent the spread of contagions diseases of various natures has been dis­ covered by postal authorities and a re­ cently issued order from Washington advises mail clerks in regard to it. The order reads: All stamps which are sold thru the window shall be given to the purchasers with the gum side up. To most people, this order wonld seem valueless, but nevertheless it is the re­ sult of careful thought. When a stamp is slid thrn a window with the gum side down it passes over a wood surface upon which hundreds of hands are laid daily. These hands carry and deposit germs of every variety, the germs are taken up by the gum and taken into the mouth of the person who "licks" the stamp. Postal authorities wonld advise that stamps be not licked unavoidably. The gum in itself is pure, bat germs easily collect upon it. Carrying stamps with "tnoney should be avoided, as money is the worst of germ distributors. Don't Start Anything. If you start a rumpus with antral mail carrier you will have Unole Sam in your wool quickly. A new law went into effect on January 1, which protects rural mail carriers from assault while on their routes, making the punishment for assaulting one of them a fine of not more than $1,000, or imprisonment for not more than three years or both. Few of them have ever been assaulted or held up, but the government thought it would be an additional protection to make the punishment the same as it is for holding up a mail carrier in a city.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re­ sponsible for much sicknessandsuffering, therefore, if kiduey trouble is permitted to continue, serious re­ sults are most likely to follow. Your other organs may need at­ tention , but your kid­ neys most, because they do most and should have attention first. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your en­ tire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con­ vince you of its great merit. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest because its remarkable health restoring properties have been proven in thousands of the most distress­ ing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Oar attendance is becoming a little better. v The basket ball supper will be before the game this time, from 6 to 8, tickets, 20 cents. The next game here will be with the Richmond boys We have had several visitors, among whom was Mr. Roberts, who gave a short talk to the three upper rooms last week Wednesday morning. The high school boys played a game of basket ball at Richmond last Friday night and were beaten, but not so badly as the Richmond team has beaten most of their opponents this year. The boys of the fourth room, with some from the third, have purchased a basket ball and are learning the game Their first team is to have a game against the hi«h school second team some evening this week, Next week is the week for the second of the three months' testa in the grade** for this year. Parents shonld inquire into the standing of their children in this test, as it will be an excellent indi­ cation of the probable standing at the close of the year. The basket ball game with Woodstock next Friday night, the 18th, promises to be a warmly contested one. Both Woodstock teams are strong teams. Our girls tied with them in the first half at Woodstock and expect to beat them nicely this time. Onr boys have better endurance than the Woodstock boys, tho they are not so heavy, and are mak­ ing abetter showing .at baskets than heretofore. Won't Need a Crutch. When Editor J. P.
