Last Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Emery occurred one of the "Old Fashioned Husking Bees". About 7.30 p. m. the invited guests to about 70 congregated and at 8.00 they were husking in earnest. There were about 400 bushels of corn to be husked and it looked like an endless task but the 70 huskers had made quick work of it and at 10.00 o'clock had it all out. After a few minutes intermission the entire company sat down to one of the best New England dinners that was ever put on the table. Everybody did ample justice to the splendid repast. And as one member of the party said, "actions spoke louder than words on my part." After bidding the host and hostess good night the party broke up and they all departed to their several homes. After enjoying the best evening of the season.

Mr. G. W. Walker has sold his pair of "White Heads" the past week for a very fancy price. They are as nice a pair as any one would care to have. They are 3 years old and they never had a spoonful of grain and they weigh close on to 3000 lbs. Some steers for these days. What about it, East Fryeburg?
