mOnOtOnOuS.

livery wagon.
The drum corps reports nearly enough
money raised to secure their uniforms.
All the smokestacks of the Central
Vermont locomotives are being painted
red.

week.
Walker & Holden have new signs up.
You can't miss them now when you come
to town.
The telephone line between here and
Saxton's River is being supplied with
new poles.
1t is noted that w. B. Carpenter is
putting on good many of his iron roofs
this summer.

corps, No. s. This Thursday evening
at 100 o'clock.
S. ID. Cobb had the first green peas
reported June 20. They were sown the
last day of March.

rain began. 1t seems as though it had
increased one-half.

The Princeton students who are to sing
here next week are drawing good houses
at Brattleboro and are pleasing the
people who hear them.
The number of bicyclists has in
creased; or, at least, the number of those
who appear on the wheel is larger than
it was the first part of the season.
The directors meeting of the Vermont
Valley Railroad company was held Tues
day. A. B. Harris was elected president
and James H. Williams, treasurer and
clerk.
Several new buildings are noted in the
vicinity of Gageville, and foundations
for others are being laid. The village
seems to have stretched out in that d.
rectiOn.
G. w. Swift starts up country the
middle of July on a photographing trip.
His first stop will be West Lebanon and
there he will pitch his tent and gather in
views of the surrounding scenery.
A number of houses are guaranteed
because of measles, or a mild form of
scarlet fever. No dangerous cases are
reported, but the little ones are taking
the diseases in various parts of the vii
lage.
The early vegetables which have ap-
peared in market seem consumed by an
endeavor to cost as much money as pos
sible. One needs to be CrRsus or a
Jay Gould to indulge in the delicacies of
the season.
In the advertisement of George E.
Cady, already printed on an inside page
this week, "17 800 giant fire crackers"
should read 175, 900. 1t makes quite
difference to Young America, who will
need the full number.
Two strolling acrobats, advertising a
circus, amused 200 men and boys and
one old white horse in the square last
evening. They were dressed in brilliant
green costumes which made them attrac
tive to the sight anyway.
Charlie Bissell beats the record as a
four-leaved clover finder. He brought
in a bunch containing % perfect leaf
stalks. If the Scotch legend that there
is luck in four-leafed clOvers have any
foundation in fact the owner and the
recipients will abound in it hereafter.
