John S. Eaton has moved his books,
papers, and Town Clerk business into
George Paul's store.
Work on the library building pro-
crosses slowly. The delay in receiv-
ing the stone has been aggravating,
and will cause the workmen to have
cold fingers before they get the roof on.
Maj. Bradley's "old pard," Charles,
was in town last week. Don't know
as they have had any "evening ses-
sion" this time. Anyway, that "re-
porter" isn't in twenty cents.
The Woodstock Cornet Band made
fine appearance and furnished excel
lent music at the County Fair here last
week. We noticed several veterans in
the ranks, among them Charles M.
Cobb of Brattleboro. Charlie is
band in himself, and Woodstock lost a
good citizen and an excellent musician
when he went away.
Some of the newspaper publishers
throughout the country are cutting
down the price of their papers, and our
neighbor has caught the infection. He
has lowered his standard 25 cents a.
year to all subscribers old and new,
and says he is prospering. There will
be no diminuton in the price of the
AGE, nor in the quality and quantity
of matter the coming year. No paper
the size of the AGE or Standard can
be published mill less than a $3.50 a
year. We are sorry our neighbor was
compelled to "duck" on price.

here during the Fair; he is travelling
for wholesale paint, oil and varnish
establishment, and makes frst-rate
salesman what Mark does, he doas
well, and has good faculty for max
ing friends and retaining them. The
comet of 1912 is looming up in the

tory, some time ago, is making some
improvements on the premises. This
week he has moved the barn to the line
fence back from the street. This is q
great improvement, as it gives large
space between his mansion and Mr..
Henry B, Reeds.
