Our ''chip" discovered that those lead
ing Woman Suffragists, who were here
last week, wore no bustles. A set of wo-
men, who, in this stylish age, can ignore
so important and so great thing of fash
ion, deserve the appreciation of mascu-
line humanity, to say the least.
Among those students from Orleans
county who have attended school at Lyn-
don Institute and taken prominent parts
in closing and commencement exercises,
we mention: Mary McDermaid, Charles
ton; Clyde E. Ordway, Evelyn j. Win
slow and Edward D. Collins Barton Land
ing; Ora B. Willard. So. Barton and
Mary V. Rowell of Albany. The school
is in a very prosperous condition and is

bers.
L. NJ. Clement of Barton Landing was
present at the Decoration Day services
here and took Photographic views of
the stage in Opera hall, as it appeared
when the children gave their very pretty
dialogue and offering to the Unknown
Dead" and also photograph of the chill
dren and others, who were taken in a
group in front of the hall. The pictures
are very good and all in the group can be
easily distinguished. Those who were
present on that day, and others ought to
purchase the pictures as souvenirs of a
very interesting occasion in this village.
A warning is up calling meeting of
the voters of the village to act on the
question of water supply for the village,
also to see if the village will vote to bond
for the whole or a part of the expense of
putting in a water system. There seems
to be some objection to the idea of bond
ing the village for the purpose named and
some are trying to create a scare on the
idea of mortgaging the property of the
village. When it is known that the act
relating to bonding only permits the issue
of $4,000 in bonds, and that the proper
ty of the village, as represented by the
grand list is sixteen times that sum, those
who consider the matter without selfish
ness or prejudice will not be alarmed 1t
is probably true that SIG, 900 will give the
village good set of water works, either
from Roaring Brook or from Bell Water
pond, and that 900 will cover all the
expense of taking the water from Parker
IL
understand that parties are claiming that
while estimates place the expense at GER
tain sums, the actual cost will be double
the estimates. We think that parties in
this village will guarantee the expense
not to exceed by 3 per cent the estimates
made by Mr.. Foster, and now to be seen
in this office. Mr.. Foster has been able
in other places to make his estimates
practically correct. In fact the cost has
been a little less than the estimates. These
facts will be shown. In regard to bond
ing, most financiers in villages where wa
ter works have been put in, go on the
plan that it not only is cheaper, but
better way to bond. No village would
want the full expense at one time of do
ing costly work that would be equally
