Some of the young men from Rensselaer who attended the debate were very loud in their praise for the Marlboro girls, so much so that the la ter were thoroughly disgusted at there ungentlemanly conduct. Mr. Geo. Parker and wife are visiting friends ane relatives in Hanging Giove. Martha Robinson, Ciara-Glark and Tillie Fendig of Rei sselaer were in our city last Friday. Instead of having a Christmas tree the folks at Marlboro will give a t>ux supper a week or such a matter later, the benefits of which will be spent for Young peoples Reading circle books. The debate on the dairy question last Friday night drew a very large crowd. The Rensselaer String band furnished music for the occasion. About thirty people came out from Rems,, her on the milk train, among several young ladies. A few minutes after the arrival of the train the school house was so crowded that standing room was at a premium. The question was warmly contested by both sides. The opposition took poultry raising aS a more profitable business than dairying. Thedebsteis were A. McCoy and Bruce Porter in favur of dairying; Louis Hamilton a«l J. 11. Long against it. Messrs. Aicv'oy and Long’s speeches were very good and gave an estimate of the profit in the different pursuits which they advocated Throe of Ilaugte.g Grove’s best citizean were selected as judges and their decision stood unanimous for the affirmative. ;—..—
