The Fitchburg road will put in a new 70
foot wrought iron turn-table at Bellows
Falls this week. to replace the cast iron
table which is broken and worn out.

with new and valuable machinery through

tries. That the firm is an energetic one is
proved by the way in which a seeming dis

The girls of the Ministcring Childrens'
league gave their first public entertain
ment Tuesday in the shape Of an afternoon
tea and sale of fancy work, which was held
at the parish house. The society is com
posed Of girls from the age of five to IA
years. and numbers about 30 members.
They meet every Saturday afternoon to
sew. and have done work of which they
may well be proud. The work done is
missionary work, and is under the direction
of the ladies Of the missionary society, who
take turns in presiding and arranging the
work. The lady in charge reads aloud to
the girls, or provides some other entertain
ment, while they work. The greatest in
terest is taken by the members of the little
society in their work and a good attend
ance is assured for every Saturday. The
society was formed under the direction OF
the late Mrs James II. Williams, who took
a deep interest in it and assisted in con-
Quoting ii until her health failed. At this
tea Tuesday the tables were attended wholly
by the girls, and the fancy work was most
~ done by them. The sewing was partic-
ularly noticeable and would do credit to
any one. There was a good variety OF
fancy work which sold well. The proceeds
Of the sale amounted to about $50.
