in every district to look after the roads in

to work out their taxes, If we understand
the matter Alright. We believe a somewhat
similar privilege was last year granted Barre
people who could be counted on for faithful
work. 60 Ernest Nichols, son of AFRO
Nichols, will work on farm in Plainfield
the coming season. - Quite "a long piece
of trestle-work is being put in by the rail-
road company on David Gales farm. 60
On Sunday and Monday morning last the
mercury went twelve or more degrees be-
low zero. - Not long ago we heard two
well-to-do old farmers, who know how their
money came, discussing the prospects of a
young man not far in the twenties, the son
of farmer, and who earns his money by
working as hired man on farm. " He is
getting rich," said one to the other. A
stranger coming in just then might have
thought, by the manner in which it was
said, he was talking of somebody inside a
ring" or trust" =" He probably saved
5000 last year, And how much did he
earn?" ventured to ask. Perhaps $40
or $3.50" Nearly three-score and ten years
on a Vermont farm have taught this shrewd,
far-seeing Yankee that the boy who thus
starts out in life Is on the road to what he
calls riches. - 1t will not be thought
strange that some of our townsmen who
happen to be in or rear Boston over Sun
day should want to hear Rev. Emory Haynes
of the fremont Temple church. One who
thus had the opportunity went to hear him.
Mr., Haynes, it would seem, is quick to
recognize the face of strangers in his audi
ence and has a way of going to them for a
hand-shake and little chat Thus he came
upon our townsman. Asking his name and
| his home, he recalled the fact of having
! lived here once and alluded to a former
schoo-teacher, Norman G.. Davis, etc. OF
course this pleasant, hearty, social way on
the part of Pastor Haynes is one secret OF
! his success. In it there is a hint for pastor
and people even in small country towns.
