Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1884-10-06

crops in Iowa this year are immense,
and that the whole season has been
beautiful and agreeable. Mr.. Eaton
has been subscriber to the MONITOR
ever since it started, and took the
Iadependem Standard sixteen years
before the MONITOR was launched.
The Tower Bros. have bought the
lot of land, known as the Rothchild
lot, of BENZ. Mossman, snapped a
portion with him for the site where
his barn and office now stands, and
are putting him up new barn along
side the village engine house. We
understand they do the work on the
new barn for the old one, which they
will either remove in the spring or
convert into grain house. The
change will be an improvement in
that part of the village.
Our subscribers who are getting
two or more years in arrears must
not be surprised if they are quite
loudly invited to pay their indebted
ness before January 1st, 1885. We
must close out these old claims. We
will be lenient, liberal and lovely,
all the while, but the pay must come.
That small class who show that
they do not care to pay. and hope
to keep us patient by lying, are in
formed that this kind of business is
played out. But "a word TO the
wise" etc.
Telephone connection has been
made between this place and Lyn-
donville, and all points in that di-

d. L. Dwinell store and into the pri-
vate residence of E. L. Norton in
Glover. There will be instruments
at the houses of G. B. Simpson and
Walter Chase in Sheffield. beside
those at the village. There will
doubtless be an exchange established
here ere long.
