Inc young gentlemen, who last weeh
! laid aside their fur caps and overcoats
and came out in spring costumes, were
glad to resume winter styles this week
The north and west winds remind us not
to spring at the conclusion that April
sunshine will melt away all traces OF
winter at once. Snow, and plenty OF it,
Is yet on the mountain, and the deep
drifts that the famous storm heaped
here and there and almost everywhere
reluctantly melt
Sugar making progresses slowly this
season. How can it be otherwise when
the NAPLES in many localities are drifted
in with about six or ten feet Of snow?
By the way, writing about sugar reminds
us that Miss Edith Frisbie last week
presented your correspondent with
generous supply of nice new sugar, In
behalf of the BANNER we thank her now
although the gift has already disappear
ed from sight.
Mrs. H. B. Bottum continues to i'm
prove and we hope will soon he again
well.
Clark Stone is better and may escape a
regul IT run of pneumonia. As one of
our best citizens and prominent in every
move to advance the interest of the
community. Mr., StoUe's recovery is de
sired by host Of friends.
What has become of all the "school
marms? There was only one applicant
for the position of teacher of the Center
school. and not single one for that in
the Lime" district. Miss Katie Cronan
will teach at the Center and Miss Hattie
Buck in the Rhode Island" district dur.
ing the spring and summer terms. Miss
Bertha A. Bottum has accepted posi-
ton in the Arlington graded school.
We hardly know how the young peoples
society and the Baptiet choir and Sun
day school can move EDWARDS without
Miss Bertha's presence and help. Old
and young alike wish her the success she
merits in her new position, and there is
vide felt regret that society here will
lose one of It's best young ladies.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall Dunlap have
both been quite sick with the prevailing
epidemic-coughs and colds with ten.
dency to pneumonia-but are somewhat
better.
Nathan Bottum does not gain strength |
very rapidly.
Capt. AIanson Mattison is up and able
to be about the house.
Myron Huntington, brother of Mrs. H |
b, Bottum, and q resident of Helvidere,
ILL.,, is visiting friends in the west mart |
OF the town, having renewed former as
sociations by visits at the Center and
North Salisbury. Mr.. II. left our
town for the West twenty seven years
ago, and is now as progressive in his
ideas as any ty pical Westerner, ALT hough
his State can hardly now be counted as
distant, and ''the West" of today is be-
tween the Mississippi and the Psoi-
dc.
The young folks had very pleasant
time at their sugar party in Social hall
last Wednesday evening. although the
condition Of the roads prevented large
attendance. Between forty and fifty of
our boys and girls were on hand
enough to make matters decidedly live.
ly,
Mr.. Marten OF West SALISBURY has
moved, with his family, into Gilbert
Frishee's house opposite the Center
church. and will open a store in the
building once used by Mr., Frisbee for
that purpose.
Rev. Mr., wilkins finds that Vermont
winters are rather too trying to the con.
stitution and Ia looking out for some
SUMMER olime. Parents in SALISBURY
