Lewis, Collector; Y. D. Fitch, Audi

owners who are two or three years in
arrears on taxes, and the Collector
has been instructed to collect all of
these at once, as there are q number
of bills that must be paid now. So
be ready with the cash when the Col
lector calls on you.
The idea has been suggested, and
we think it a good one, that the town
authorize some person to write a
history of the town from it's forma-
tion up to the last centennial, giving
an account of the organization and
all important events in the towns
history, concluding with an account
of the centennial celebration. A rec
ord of this kind could be prepared at
a reasonable expense for filing in the
Town Clerks office, and if arranged
in pamphlet form, enough copies
could be sold to cover expense of
compiling and printing. Every resi-
dent of the town and many of her
sons and daughters now living in va
rious parts of the United States,
would want a copy. Shallit be done?
Calendars are numerous this year
and as handsome as ever. McFar-
land the fire insurance man, is distrib-
uting some very nice ones gotten up
by the Continental and Orient Fire
, Ins. Co.; Hulburd, the life insurance
agent, circulates some handsome
ones issued by the National Life Ins.
Co.; but the best of all, perhaps not
f so artistic as the above, but pretty
nevertheless, is the "Uncle Ben cal
endar issued by the LamOille County
Savings Bank. Besides being of use
for it's dricalinformation, it con-
tains some wise suggestions as to
saving money and shows how few
dollars saved each week will enable
one in a very few years to own a
home of his own. Every family in
Lamoille County ought to have one
of these calendars in their home,
: where it would be reminder to them
to save a small sum each week.
