Harborville April 7th 1897
The winter has passed and spring has made its appearance, the streets of our little village are quite dusty.
Quite a number of our young men have gone to the States for the summer, we regret to part with those who intend to reside there permanently.
Last Sabbath March 28th Rev Messrs Simpson and Bishop held services in Northrup hall. After listening to a very impressive sermon the congregation gathered at the water edge to witness the ordinance of baptism. Not a ripple disturbed the waters of the bay. Eighteen were baptized and the good work still continues in the vicinity. Meetings will be held here in the Methodist church during the week.
Schr Jessie, Capt Edward Spicer arrived from St John with a full load of goods.
Schr Willie D, Capt F Curry sailed on April third for Rockland Maine.
Capt IB Slocomb is repairing his vessel.
Captain Holmes of Granville has purchased the Schr Josephine, recently owned by Capt John Cook. It is reported Capt Cook will stay home for a while.
Capt Joseph Chute in his packet Annie R will arrive soon ladies with goods for James Northrup; thus business seems to be booming in our place.
