Friday (tomorrow) night, in Grange hall, a feature of the Lecturer's program will be a basket lunch. Much interest has been manifested in this "auction of lunches" and some rivalry between the bidders will make the atmosphere of the meeting a bit more "spicy" and "snappy" than usual. If you are looking for a wife who excels in culinary art, tomorrow night is your chance to "pick" her.

An interesting commentary upon weather conditions this winter is furnished by the fact that Henry H. Hobbs, the genial and accommodating delivery clerk for J. A. Lane and Co. has made his trips on runners for 110 consecutive days, thus establishing a new record. Mr. Hobbs has been driving a grocery wagon for 18 years, but never encountered a winter before with so much snow and where the snow so continuously covered the ground. Generally he has had to change from runners to wheels and from wheels to runners one or more times but this winter it has been runners right along.

A social and supper was held in the Baptist vestry on Tuesday evening in honor of their pastor, Mr. Christopher, who was so fortunate as to have a birthday that date. The evening was delightfully spent, all wishing the pastor many happy returns on their departure.

A very pleasant gathering and miscellaneous shower was given for Mrs. Hazel Myers Brown in the Grange Hall on Monday evening under the direction of Miss Olive Nudd, Miss Annie Johnson, Miss Jessie Moulton and Miss Marion Garland. A large company were present and showed by their many gifts their sympathy and friendship for Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who lost their home and contents by the recent fire. Mrs. Brown lost all her wedding presents which, of course, can never be replaced. After a very pleasant evening refreshments of ice cream and cake were served by the committee.

It is quoted from Washington, D. C. papers that sugar is already 12 cents a pound and is going to 15 cents. This is the threat of New York sugar speculators, and there is plenty of sugar in the country. Do not be stampeded and create a shortage by stocking up unless you wish to play into the hands of these bandits. The Government's department of Commerce announces there is no shortage of sugar and that the present high prices are not justified by any conditions. This would indicate the raid cannot last, notwithstanding these profits are a great temptation for greedy men. Isn't it time we made an example of the sugar profiteers?

The costume party was successfully carried out by a gaily decked company of nearly 50 couples of the town, who enjoyed the evening to the last minute. The dancing parties have been well conducted and by being on invitation have been exclusive and free from outside intrusion. The committee in charge expect to hold another before the season ends.

Hampton is to have a hotel in the village we understand. The Hotel Echo property has changed hands. Mr. Williams of Exeter intends having the hotel in running order in short time which will be appreciated by both townspeople and tourists who find it a great inconvenience not to have a hotel near. Hampton, for a great number of years, had Hotel Whittier which was a most popular place and has been sadly missed and we hope Hotel Echo will prosper and fill the long wanted accommodations.
