at his house last week, was listened to by
Sc villages, of which % were beyond

from the applauding comments coming in

instructive lecture at Town Hall, Friday
evening, subject FLORENCE"
This week, Thursday and Friday, day
and evening, there will be meetings held
in the Village Hall under the direction of
the board of agriculture. Address of well
come by Gov. Farnham, followed by such
men as +. M. Goodwin of IIartland, DR..
Hiram A. Cutting, Henry Lane of Corn
wall, E. r. Towle of Franklin, H. G. Day
of Bradford f. R. Pember of Wells, NJ.
W. Davis of Westminster and others.
This list of speakers is of itself sufficient
to call out large number of farmers and
their wives, sons and daughters. While
the people of the village are making cal
culations on quite treat, it occurs to US
that if the farmers Of our town and sur.
rounding towns would spend an evening
once week in telling of their knowledge
of farming, they might benefit each other
and enable those of US that know little or
nothing of farming to spend not only
pleasant but profitable evening.
! The two churches unite this week in
holding meetings. We trust they will be
of much spiritual benefit to all who may
be able TO attend. Many of us that would
gladly attend these meetings are kept
away by other causes, while many that
might will have no desire to do so.

H. A. Winship, of the firm of Winship e
Co., is in Boston this week buying goods,
N. A. Bailey, who has done fine bust
ness in the ready made clothing and gents
furnishing goods for some years, desires,
on account of poor health, to dispose of
his business. There is no better stand in
northern Vermont for this branch of bust.

For the past year some of our people
have been in the habit of trading gu ito
heavily at H. X. Wilson'S, West Newbury
but OF late they have learned that the
same class of goods they have been buying
so oh zap can be found in our village at Il
less price even. Why hire team and
climb a five mile hill to spend u ten dollar
bill when you can get more and better
goods for the same money right at your
door, thus save your team hire and half
days time? We have learned better after
being feeced few times. A good amount
of advertising and smooth tongue has
drawn considerable cash out of our village.
