The columns of The Caledonian
these days are evidence of the fact
that there is no other so good Medium
for business men to reach the people,

The Ketcham Chicago concert
company gave il free concert in the
town hall Friday evening. The hall
was packed clear out to the door step
where the anxious people were salts

10th for S24SI. AZ, which is believed to
be the highest price ever paid in BOs
ton for single ticket. 1t was for II
party of nine in IL special car, with
stop-otf privileges, which involved the
making of special time schedule.
Hugh C.. Moore ofSt. Johnsbury and
Mr. Mcleod of Newport have bought
the American house ut Amesbury,

the same time to help a bit one of the
wOrthiest organizations in st. Johns
bury.
