not sit back and say: oh! let it go, it 
doesn’t bother me. If God has been 
good enough to keep liquor out of 
your own personal home let us try 
to keep it out of some one else’s home. 
We are pretty smal! in this large 
world, yet we can all do our little part 
to help some one else. Therefore 
friends go to the polls and do your 
duty to protect our boys and girls, 
our men and women from this curse’ 
which is in our land.” .

SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT ASSURED 
Next WEDNESDAY 
The next number in the entertain- 
ment course of the Manchester club 
will be given Wednesday evening, 
Feb. 26, at 8 o’clock in the Town hall. 
The entertainment will be a con- 
cert by the Pilgrim Quartet of Bos- 
ton assisted by a reader. Mr. Baker, 
who pleased the members of the club 
greatly by his singing at the annual 
dinner of the club, is a member of 
this quartet. 
It is a matter of regret that so few 
outside the club membership have 
availed themselves of the lectures 
and entertainmetns offered thus far. 
The Manchester club has not en- 
deavored to make them a source of 
financial return, but has on the con- 
trary felt that if they could be made 
self-supporting, they might be made 
a feature of the winter season each 
year and excellent entertainment ob- 
tained at cost. The attendance thus 
far while very good has not been as 
large as the excellence of the numbers 
presented deserved. It it to be hoped 
that there may be a sufficient patron- 
age at the next concert to encourage 
the Manchester club. to continue a 
good work. 
The immigration bill just killed in

The lamp-lighter’s wagon came to 
grief at West Manchester Wednes- 
day of this week. The wagon was 
coming out of Jersey Lane, and while 
turning the corner, the wheels caved 
in letting the wagon down on the axel 
and throwing out the driver. ‘The 
horse stopped of his own free will, 
and as the driver was uninjured from 
his fall he went to a stable nearby 
and got an old wheel put on in place 
of the broken one, and continued on 
his route to light up the town.
