A meeting of the Library Associa-
ton will be held at town hall Monday

trustees have important business to
bring before the Association and it is
hoped that all who are interested in

Mr.. and Mrs. L. P. Soper went to
burlington on Tuesday, both going
for treatment for eye trouble Mrs
SOper has slight trouble which pro-
per glasses will correct, while Mr.. So
per has become almost blind from
cataract the removal of which will be
undertaken by DR.. j. III. Woodward
of that city.
The Nella Brown-Pond entertain
ment last Thursday evening drew the
usual full house. Mrs. Brown-Pond
takes front rank as an elocutionist.
The only fault, if any, that could be
found was in the extreme length of
some of her selections. Shorter ones
might have given better satisfaction.
Her rendition of "Budge's Account
of the Flood and ''Private Theatri-
calls was perfect. Miss Low, as
pianist, was faultless.
The News AND CITIZEN is printed
this week by steam power-the first
time any newspaper has ever been
printed in this way in Lamoille Coun-
ty. The liberal support given this
paper throughout the county and
adjoining towns has so increased our
circulation that the change from hand
power to steam became a necessity
The press is run Wednesdays and
Saturdays and we will take pleasure
in showing our friends how the paper
they read is printed.
Seven hundred 2-quart square cans
were received here last week from New
York by F. B. Livingston, to be used
for maple syrup. In addition to the
large amount of orders already filled
2 400 quart bOttles-orders are in
for $500 more. Eight thousand gal
Ions have been put up in cans. The
non-arrival of the bottles causes some
delay but Mr.. Livingston hopes to
complete the order III a few days.
This enterprise has proved a blessing
to the farmers, as So cents per gallon
was the price paid, which was far bet
ter than could have been received by
making it into sugar.
We publish elsewhere an article
from the New England Grocer, which
should be read by every person in
Lamoille County. 1t exposes the
workings of 1.-The Farmers and
Changers Wholesale Grocery Co." a
concern which takes orders for gro
ceries through canvassers and deliv-
ers direct to the purchaser. We
doubt that this concern or any other
of a like character, can sell goods of
the quality and at the prices they
represent. 1t is always best to pat
ronize home merchants, as they are
here to stay, and wanting your trade
more than once, as a general thing
give as good bargain as can be had
for the price PatroniZe the home
merchant and you will make the
most in the long run.
