In manner highly cleditable to til
members of the club. The characte
of Cray Phil" the mountain her
NIT, was taken by H. j. Fisher, aus
carried through in a manner whIcl
showed great talent. F. B. Living
stou acted the part of "Amos Gay
lord" and seemed to be right in hi
element, in fact we think Fred would
make first class detective. +. P
Robinson, Geo. NJ. Powers, G. A
Peters, Walter Jackson and DwigA
Holton acted their parts with deserved
praise. The acting by the ladies o
the club was very fine. Mrs. A. o
Gates as chester Thorn" Mrs. H. J
Fisher in the character of ssSusie Gay
lord" Mrs. G.. II. Slocum as ''Lucre
tia Gerrish." and Miss Lillian Cut
ting as ''Grace 1ngals' were all equal
~ good. Mrs. Gates sustained hel
previous reputation as an amateur anC
won fresh laurels. The entertain
ment as whole was first class, and
we hope we may have many more
such in the future.
We give below a report of the
meeting held at the Town Hall Satur.
day, for the purpose of agitating the
creamery question. A good deal oil
interest was manifested, and it would
seem quite probable that the project
would be carried out. What is tol
the interest of the farmers is bene-
fit to the community generally, and
everybody should take an interest in
the matter:
Agreeable to call, the farmers of Nor
ristown and vicinity met at the Town
Hall, in Morrisville for the purpose OF
investigating the creamery business. L.
n. LeBaron was chosen Moderator, and
G w. Fitch, Secretary. j. w. Drury of
Middlebury, explained the different
methods of running creameries, and his
remarks were very interesting. His idea
seemed most favorable to the cream gath
ering system,-that is. each farmer sets
his milk in cans, all of the same kind
the gatherer doing all of the skimming.
and only the cream carried to the cream
cry. taking less teams to carry it. and in

prevailing opinion being that something
must be done by the dairymen to COM
pete with the creameries throughout
the country in the sale of their butter.
Motion was made that committee of
five be appointed to see how many cows
can be pledged for creamery and find
some responsible party to establish and
run the same, and report at an adjourned

STERLING.-Before US we have a
letter from B. o. Shaw, of Dennison,
Iowa, written to his brother, B w.
Shaw. Mr.. Shaw reports a hard
winter with them; large amount of
snow and heavy winds. Mr.. Shaw
and wife are making preparations to
come to Vermont in April, and they
will find hearty welcome by their
numerous friends.-Several couple,
with our singing-master, Mr.. Fletcher,
found their way to the Darling neigh
borhood to unite with them in a sing

in the singing done much credit to
themselves and teacher.-We learn
that Mr.. Wakefield and Mr.. Turner

were benefited by the change made
On the same day, while Mr.. Turner
was driving the horse he obtained oil

Fletcher, started from the s'Lost Ma.
