Local Masonic Matters.

On account of the storm the special
of Mt. Anthony Lodge,
called for Tuesday evening, was indefh
nItely postponed. Because of this, the
chairman of the committee on entertain.
ment, Charles E. Graves, wishes the
brethren to consult with him as to the
food for the tables; not later than to.
morrow. Those who have already
agreed to give and what they would fur
nish are requested to believer the same

as is consistent.
The programme for the District Con
vention has already been published. II
will be held afternoon an evening. Sup
per will be served at six o'clock and
lunch at 11,3O in the banquet rooms
The afternoon work Is the E. A. and F
c. degrees. The first will be exemplfied
by Adoniram Lodge, No,42, HI. Dench
w. NJ, and the regular officers of that
well known lodge, beginning at 2 O'Clock
sharp. Probably the first degree has
never yet been worked as well before in
this district as it will be on this occasion
The greater interest, will, however
center in the Second degree, worked by
lodge of Past Masters. These breth
rem are somewhat critical in their views
of the ritual aud now that the opportu
nifty is afforded. the craft will expect
from them little more than letter per.

that this particular staff of Past Masters

their criticism of the present Lodge
officers, but the remark has a general
application aud includes Grand Masters

THE absence of the county and other
local matter this week is owing to the
snow blockade.
THE creditors of the Haines bankrupt
estate will be glaG to hear that there is
a prospect of divid nd soon The
amount we are not advised.
THE ladies' of the Methodist church are
making preparations for their annual
church supper. The storm has disar-
ranged their plans as to date, but it will
occur either next week or the week fol
lowing.
TRAINS are running regularly between
here and Rutland, and also to Troy and
North Adams. The B & R. road was
the first road to rase the blockade and
the Fitchburg followed. not far behind.
This speaks volumes for the efficiency
,of the managers.
THE school district clerks are again re.
minded that Feb. LIST is the date by law
for the reports of births and deaths and
taxation report to the town clerk. In
this town Nos. 3, 7, 8 and 10 are delin-
quent and subject to the fine. Other
towns will also please take notice as this
IS State regulation.
THE town clerk requests us to note
again the fact that the limit for the Ii.
cense of dogs 10 April lst, and that after
said date the tax will be So, instead of
$l,prior to that time. The law provides
81 tax before April list, an additional 81
($2 in ally penalty from April 1st to May
18th, after which dog is not recognized
as property but is liable to be killed.
THE Hoadley mills are to be started W
as soon as the roads to it are opened, moi
only to run out the present stock but tt
complete orders. This involves the pur
chase of some new lumber. Orders still
come in and we hope the way may bt
made clear to permanently run this fine
industry.

The local prohibition club need no
hug the delusion that their vote has 81
largely increased In SALISBURY and 9th

ed tickets were furnished, through
some over sight, and the Democracy
valiantly came to the rescue of thei
deputies and had polled a large Hurl

covered. 1t may be well to remembe
this fact later on and when the fall ca IN
paign shall have been opened.
