A New Ice Cream Parlor.
G. F. Beaudry has nearly finished the preparations
for his new ice-cream parlor, which when completed will be the finest in town.
The rooms are located in the rear of his store from the main portion of which they
are divided by curtains hung on rods which are suspended from the ceiling. The floor
will be covered with a carpet of neat design, lace curtains hung at the windows
and everything done that can add in any way to the attractiveness and beauty of
the place. The latest improved apparatus for making ice-cream has been
purchased, including a supply of material for the manufacture of ice-cream
bricks which will be delivered anywhere in the county to those wishing them.
Beaudry never does things by halves and will undoubtedly find himself enjoying a large trade as soon as the season is fairly opened.

Y. M. C. A.
Organized.
About fifty persons who are interested in
the formation of a Young Men's Christian Association, met in the Grand Jury rooms
at the Court House, Monday evening, to take the steps necessary to make a permanent
organization. The meeting was presided over by assistant State Secretary Griffith,
and Edward D. Blodgett acted as secretary.
After prayer had been offered by Rev. Dr. Cordo, Mr. Griffith stated briefly the object of the meeting and called for the report of the committee which had been appointed to solicit funds and to look up suitable rooms. The report was made by Mr. B. L. Webb, chairman of the committee, who stated that they had started out to raise fifteen hundred dollars, and that when he came into the court house that evening, only eight dollars remained to be raised. A gentleman who was present had, however, pledged himself for that amount, so that the question of funds could be considered as definitely settled. In regard to rooms, the members of the committee had looked over several, and had decided to suggest that a contract be made for the room over the Standard office, in the Standard block, for the temporary use of the association. State Secretary Griffith also stated that he had inspected the rooms spoken of, and made the recommendation that they be taken.
Mr. Griffith then read the constitution of the Y. M. C. A., as usually adopted in the cities, and it was accepted as the guide for the association here. It provides that the members of the association shall be divided into two classes, to be known as active and associate members. The first class is open only to those who are members in good standing, of some Protestant evangelical church. The associate class is open to anyone who is of approved moral character, and over sixteen years of age.
The benefits of the association are the same in both classes, but the right to vote on affairs pertaining to management, &c, is given only to active members. The government is vested in a Board of Directors, composed of fifteen members of the association, to be chosen from among the members of the different churches. The Board of Directors, of which the pastors of the churches are ex-officio members choose the necessary officers of the organization from their number.
The names of the following gentlemen were reported for members of the Board of Directors by a committee consisting of Messrs. B. L. Webb, Myron DuBois and E. D. Blodgett, and they were, on motion, declared elected:
Grace Church—H. B. Hubbard, B. L. Webb, J. H. Turner.
Methodist Church—C. B. Hitchcock, Dr. F. H. Higgins, T. B. Stowell.
Baptist Church—S. J. Sornberger, C. F. Brown, Geo. C. Hubbard.
Presbyterian Church—J. W. Keese, F. W. Collins, Myron DuBois.
Congregational Church—Frank Place, W. D. Fuller, F. J. Doubleday.
An adjournment was then taken to Wednesday evening, at the Savings Bank parlors, when the Board of Directors elected the following officers:
President—B. L. Webb.
Vice President—F. W. Higgins.
Recording Secretary—W. D. Tuttle.
Treasurer—J. W. Keese.

Little York.
For the past month we have been playing Robinson
Crusoe, and thus have neglected the DEMOCRAT. We are ourselves once more, and
make out manners to all. In playing Crusoe we were not on an island, but in the
maple woods—sugar bush, as we used to call it. We are running over with sweetness.
We also are chock full of Democracy. Hard work and Democratic sentiments are
congenial. We are getting into trim for the convention. Not that we want to go
to any of them, but to see the right men go. If we expect to raise a successful
crop we must plant the right kind of seed. These preliminary proceedings are
the planting for a sure harvest next November.
W. T. Perkins has a large gray hawk which he caught in a steel trap. He has kept him alive nearly six weeks.
Mrs. Charles Wheeler is quite poorly. She is blessed with having good, affection and daughters who kindly assist in caring for her.
Last Sunday reminded us that the pleasure riding has begun in earnest. The roads are in good condition.
Abram Neely has been quite sick the past week, but is improving. There is rumor that a new street will be laid from the post-office to the log cabin, thence due west to the main road. Abram is said to be opposed, and nothing but an order from the court can effect it.
