| About a car load of butter is shipped
| from this depot every Monday morning.
The amount of butter that is being made
this spring is very large, and low prices
| on this article are not so much the result
| of hard times as of surplus production.
The butter product has greatly increas-
ed in Vermont, probably elsewhere, since
it became a custom to use western feed in
large quantities If every dairyman in
the whole country would throw a quarter
of his butter away and keep it out of the
market, he would receive as much for
three pounds as he now does for four.
At the Demorest prize contest by MEM
| bers of the L. II. L nine girls competed
for the prizes, viz, May Day, Julia Owen,
Annie Danforth, Gertie Mossman, Ethel
Twombly, Mabel Miles, Florence Currier,
| Carrie Smith and Florence Tower. Sew
eral pieces were sung by the League, and
by Mr.. Briggs, Elmer Webster, Blanche
Murkland and Eva Baxter as a quartet.
| The speaking was excellent, and it was a
difficult matter to decide to whom the
prizes belonged. Mabel Miles received
| first prize, Florence Tower the second.
| The entertainment was very pleasant
one.
1t is somewhat curious that people will
waste ink and paper by anonymous COM
munications to a newspaper publisher
which accuse somebody of wrong. News
papers are not run as SANDER mills; nor
do they undertake to right all the wrongs
that exist in the neighbOrhood or the
town. The fact is there is enough going
| on in almost every community if it should
be heralded by the neighbors, or by the
| local papers to give the place very I'M
savory smell and reputation. Our friend
who speaks of the matter in connection
with the students at Lyndon Center, may
be right, but he ought to give his name
if he wishes it to go into print.
At the Village school meeting, held on
| Tuesday evening, a fair number were in

Shaw, Auditors. 1t was voted to have the
taxes collected by the Treasurer, under
the provisions OF the law. Voted also to
have three terms of school, four grades
each term. The Auditors report showed
that the expense of the schools since the
last report, Mar. 1889, had been $1696. 33 /;
cash received from all sources $1766.85 ;
balance $69.52. There is beside this a
small sum due on land interests and on
old tax bills. The school committee will
commence Immediately to put the house,
grounds etc. in a better condition, and
will make early preparations for the Fall
term.
