Delameter's Barber Shop and Mews Stand-His Helps to Cleanli- ness—A Busy Place. Iu our revlaw of the business enter- prises of Margaretvllle we have told our readers about the big stores ot Swart & Hlttand Halpern Brothers. This week our talk will bo oonoarnlng It. M. Dela- motor, whose tonaorlal parlor and nows depot occupy the store under the north side of the Ackerly House, His business may not assume the colossal proprorortions attulncd by those already described, but Its dlmlnuity In no wise robs It of its Importance or be- littles Its usefulness. The smooth, clean faces and well-groomed heads of mascu- line MsrgaietvlLle bespeak the fulness of his work In his chosen field and the Im- portant niche ho fills In the everyday life of our village. Learning his trade In Onoonta, Mr. Delaiaeler worked variously In that place, Maryland and East Pharsalla In Otsego County and Norwich, Chenango County. He Is thoroughly conversant with the Ins and outs of his profession, even to telling a good Btory while he shaves diag- onally across the grain or inquires with a show of a muou solicitude 1C the raaor pulls. Previous to taking command In his present place ho was during Ave years In the employ of A. J. Easman of this vil- lage, who until a year ago last February oonducted a barber shop In the Dlclceon block acrosB tbe way. Moving to the Ackerly Mr. Easman sold out to Mr. Easman last January. Two chairs are kept busy during the summor season and the proprietor and his assistant, D. 0. Davis of Oneonta, have very little time to devote to reflec- tions upon past sins or hopes of ultimate redemption. These are matters which are given over to Sunday meditation, when the razors are put away, the lather foametk not In the cup and no man may be shaved. In addition to bis barberlng business Mr. DeUmeter la an extensive dealer In newspapers and mBgaelnes, supplying all the metropolitan dallies and popular periodicals. Anything printed can be obtained at IIIB counter, and anything not In stock will be ordered. Ho also keeps n varied stock of cigars, tobacco, plpe3, eto., handling the cele- brated \Tom Piatt,\ \Billy D.,\ and \Queen Quality\ cigars. He has toilet and shaving soaps, Florida water, brush- es, and the thousand and one other things needed for the toilet that help to koop the body clean and thereby render life worth the living, adding to his othor helps to a condition that is next to godliness quick oommunloaUon with the Kingston steam laundry, for which he Is local agent, Mr. Delameter la a thorough business man who oiuulatos the \early bird\ if not the \still sow.\ (But, who wants to be shaved by a dumb barber, anyway I) Deserving woll of the public ho receives his full share ot public favor. Who oould ask for more V Next week we will devote our atten- tion to the big Aolkerly House. AN EXPENSIVE RIDE. Circus Mm Pays for Fast Driving and Re- sultant Damages. A man connected with Sautelle's cir- cus, which appeared at Ark villa Tuesday, was In town on Monday and hired a rig at Aaderson's stables to go to Boxbury to distribute advertising matter. On hie return the horse showed every sign of having been overdriven and the shafts and whip were broken. Great ridges on the animal's side showed where the brute hod lashed him. Iu the absence of Mr. Anderson the boys at the stables refused to accept the money tendered for tbe use ot the rig. The proprietor afterward saw the man at tho Ackerly, where the latter spurned an offer to settle the matter for $10 and sought the clastic shades of Arkvllle, where he atlemted to board a westbound train on ttre wast aide of the track. Jer- romo Dlokaon, bow ever, was too quick for him and \ patched \ him with a warrant juat as he had his foot on the oar step. This materially changed the aspect of things, so lie promptly settled, paying $10 and costs, which amounted to U, for the privilege of continuing bis journey. Considering his offense he got off cheap. A man who will abuse a faithful horse ought to be \soaked \ every time. A WEEK IN MARCIRETYIHE. BIG AND LI TUB EVENTS OF SEVEN DAYS THAT ARE GONE.

The only score made by the Stars was iu the (lrst luulug, and the Athletics failed to score until tho seventh, when they made throe runs aud added one more iu the eighth. The Athletics are u fast team. Burke pitched a good game against them, and the record made by the Stars In the two games played there is very creditable. Features of Saturday's game were a home run by Schultz aud a fast double play by Opp to Cooney to Kenuer. The score was 4-1, Tho members of the Star team are en- thusiastic in pruiso of the treatmont ac- corded them at Fleischmanus.

AN EXCELLENT SROW1NG. Our Bigh School Training Class Remark- able for Number of Pupils and Its Work. The Margaretvllle training class has always been remarkable for the number of pupils who fii.|i-.i> the work la one year and receive the teachears' certificate, and tbe work ot the class during tbe past year has been fully up to the standard set by the classes ot pre- vious years. As a result of the June ex- aminations eight pupils received training class certificates and only two tailed, Tbe pupils who entered la January last passed nearly all their cxamluatlons, but having had only one halt year's work will return for another half year, This Is a record excelled by no class In tbe State, as iu a majority of classes more * linn GO per cent, ot the pupils fulled, and in many placos not more than 20 per cent, of the pupils received licenses to teach. Those who wish to enter the training class and finish tbe course In one year should enter tbe Margaretvllle class, The financial condition of tbe school 1B shown by the fact that after paying all expenses for the year tbe treasurer has more than $500 remaining in his hands to apply on next year's expenses. This certainly shows good management on tbe part of tho Board of Education, and the people of Margaretvllle are to bo con- gratulated for having such efficient and and progressive people lu charge of tho educational affairs of the district.
