hall. Venison cooked in a great 
variety of ways was served with all 
the fixings. The venison was fur-

Everyone in Essex who knew the 
Rey. Mr. Brownville, late of West 
Gloucester, learn with deep regret 
that he has passed away. That is 
the first thought — sorrow. Every- 
one who knew him, loved him, for a 
more lovable, whole-souled Chris- 
tian man never lived. Always 
cheerful and wide awake, yet withal 
a sense of sterling honesty and in- 
tegrity that commanded the utmost 
respect. 
The Chestnut Party, one of the 
series of entertainments of the En- 
tree club, was given Saturday 
night. The weather was very 
stormy and a very small number 
braved the elements to attend. 
We learn that several of the peo- 
ple supposed to be selling liquor 
have been notified and warned to 
quit.
