ITEMS Or INTEREST.
. The effect of the appointment of
Hon. William A. Stiles, as Park
Commissioner, in New York city, is
gaining considerable in local interest.
It is believed that it was at the sug
gestion of Mr. Stiles, that one of the
new small parks nas been named Kil
patrick Square, in honor of his old
friend, noighbor and schoolmate
The various Kilpa trick G.A.R. Posts
will now place a bronze statue of
the General in Kilpa trick Square and
a movement to this effect has already
been set in motion. This is as it
should bo. All credit to Mr. Stiles
and the soldier friends of the Geuer
al. Indeixmdent.
January 4, 1896, a number of rafts
passed hero. Old residents say this
is the first time in over twenty years
that this has been done. Some of
them were quite surrounded with
slush ice, and the men had a cold
disagreeable time. One large log
raft stuck in Punkies, and was bro
ken up, part of it landed in Milford
eddy and the men came on with the
remainder of it expecting to stop
here, and pick it up, but the slush
crowded them out, and they could
not land until they reached Death
eddy where the raft now lies frozen
in the ice. It will be a great expense
to take it out, and unless they do
it will be a total loss. Truly the
poor lumbermen have hard times
and plenty of them.
. The vile literature spread broad'
cast over the country should warn
us that it is the sacred duty of every
father and mother to see that their
children are supplied with the very
best class of reading matter. Many
a child has grown up in ignorance
and sin because the parents did not
watch the class of literature their
child was reading. If you give your
children only good literature to read
they will seldom ever change. Ex
