AN article in another column in regard to
the telephone in this county should be read by
all our townspeople. 1t is only question of
time as to when the line is extended to our
town. The value and convenience of the tel
ephone cannot be fully appreciated before
using it, but it is subject of practical import
ance to our business men and should be exam
ined and considered. The towns now connected
with the Montpelier central Office are Williams
town, Barre, Middlesex, Waterbury, Moretown
and Waitsfield. The poles are set for through
line to Burlington and work will soon be begun
line to Plainfield. The annual charge at pres
emit is S25 without transmitter, and this may be
transmitter costs SO extra. These rates
cover all expense, putting up the line and in
struments and keeping them in order.

form of the originator of that structure was
seen meanderng gracefully up the walk while
n from the ponderous cigar holder beneath the
n fierce moustache the customary clouds of smoke
- We're nOaung. Having confessed that nothing
butthe location of the object had been especially
noticed by us, the originator proceeded to give a
= minute description OF the painting of the musi-
cal editice as follows: the main part is Quaker
green; the holdings, rails and panel mark
tngs, bullocks blood; the seats and lighter
part Of the balustrade, cucumber green and
the trimmings, Chinese vermilion. To insure
the proper execution of the delicate task, the
originator welded the brush himself and he
confidently assured US that he considered it the
best and handsomest band-stand in the state
IL is very neat and convenient and of course
the credit OF it is due to DR.. Charles w. Lock.
