Their latest hope is said to bo Frank M. Andrusof Roxbury, Dela­ware County, who was once the partner of II, O. Hoop of this city, aud who sllU 'practiced law In the villages up In Dela­ware County. They hope that Mr. And-rus may not realise the strength of the Bupublloan candidate as fully as It Is known In Glutei' County, and , thus may be led Into offering himself up as a saorl-lloo. , __

MAR6ARETYILLE INDUSTRIES SHORT SKETCHES OP OUR VARIOUS

LOCAL ENTERPRISES.

Last work THE NEWS told its readers about one of the doctors whose shingles perforate the air along Walnut street. This week It tells of another healer of fleshly Ills whose name is as familiar as taxes.

Smith W. Beed, M. D , Is one of the best known residents of the village of Margaretvllle, where he haB for many years pursued his profession, alike with profit to himself and benefit to olhe:s.

Dr. Reed was born In Boxbury, June 21, 1830, bi-iug educated In the Boxbury common schroh and Delaware Literary Institute at Franklin.

In tho fall o ' "^50, at the age of twenty years he came to Margaretvllle, where he took up the study of medicine, subse­quently receiving a diploma at tho Ver­mont Medical College In 1851.

After a year's practice iu this lown ho located In Liberty, Sullivan County, where he remained but a short time, re­turning again to his old Held, where he found a stronger attraction and where ho waB already so well aud kindly kuown aud here ho has since remained, enjoying a large aud Jucurative practice.

Politically Dr. Rood has always been an ardent admirer and a conscientious supporter of those principles so dear to the heart of every true follower of Thom­as Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. His first public office was that of Superintend­ent of Public Scho ils, being elected In 1854, which oflloo has long since been ato-lshed, that of School Commissioner taking its place. Ho has since represent­ed tho town of Mlddletowu in the Board of Supervisors for thirteen years, being elected first lu 1873. During these years he attended every meeting of the board oxcept lug the famous "basement session" from which he says he was absent.

Whou the village of Margaretvllle was Incorporated Dr. Beed was chosen presi­dent, eerving.ln that capacity to the ut-niobl satisfaction of all and Is <iie present mayor of our thriving and prosperous village, In which ho has always taken a deep intorest.

Family Reunions.

A reunion of tho Bauford family takes place to-day (Thursday) at the home of O. D. Sauford on Railroad avenue lu this village. About sixty of tho members of tho family are expected to be present.

A reunion of the Kenyon family took place on Friday at tho home of John Spencer at Grand Gorge. Mrs. Spencer Is a daughter of Mrs. Harriet Konyon, whose seventy-third birthday was made tho occasion of tho reunion. About thirty of tho children and grandchildren were present. Goorgo W, Kenyan of this vil­lage, who was In attendance, afterward paid a vlalt to tho Kenyon homestead at Blenholm, where ho reviewed thescenes of his childhood, drank from tho "oldoaken bucket" as It " rose from tho well" aud otherwise enjoyed himself.
