service at the Baptist church, is well re
membered
There has been u large advance sale of
seats for Margaret Mnthers appearance
here tomorrow evening and there i no
doubt that the eminent artist will have the
inspiration of a full house There is also
no doubt that the event will be one long n
be remembered, for Juiiet is the 1part in
which Miss Mather has won her greatest
success. Since Nelson trod the California
stage, said critic during her recent tour
in that state, I'VE have had no .Julist like
Margaret Mather She is a phenomenon.
Apparently there is no physical or intellectual
requirements lacking. An analysis of her
JUiiet is 50 rich in returns as TO warrant the
most prodisal praise. She is a girl after the
bard's own heart.

Monday.

The potatoes which now supply the Brat
| tleboro market come largely from eastern
/ New York. Most of them are shipped from
| Greenwich byO. L. Miner. They are worth
at wholesale 30 cents. and at retail 81 10 a
bushel. Choice lots of potatoes bring 81 at
wholesale, and will command a correspond
/ ing advance at retail when planting time
arrives, The failure of the local crop last
year has made necessary the importation OF
at least 4 900 TO 1000 bushels of potatoes

money which Brattleboro has sent out OF
the county ON this account at $1,000.
