third degree. A full attendance is requested.
Dry goods stores will open every evening,
Sunday excepted, from now until Christmas,
| closing at ~ O'Clock noon on that day. The
scrabble Is now on.
The Odd Fellows assembly Tuesday even
ing was one of the pleasantest of the series,
which, by the way, is extremely enjoyable.
The company is select, the music good and
| pleasure reigns.
Pupils of the high school, assisted by for
mer members, will give an entertainment
soon the proceeds of which will be used to
purchase piano for the high school room.
An object so laudable should receive liberal
| support from all people,
A few of our young married people have
| formed an entertainment bureau ON reduced
scale, and social evenings are enjoyed from
house to house on occasion. The last of these
parties occurred Thursday evening, Mr.. and
Mrs. Carroll A. Moore being the entertainers.
Edwin Davenport of Chester. an employee
of the Vermont Farm Machine company, met
with curious accident there. A strip split
| from board he was saving and pierced
the tleshy part of his arm near the elbow. 1t
was only a flesh wound but laid him up with
| its soreness.
Child & Wetherbee's new paper mill at the
south end of the village has grown faster
than most people think. 1t is now all up,
boarded in, and the floors and foundations
nearly laid. The boilers have been set this
week and work will go on as rapidly as pos
sible until finished
The new road has been roughly graded to
the northern approach of the new SaXton's
River bridge, and the lodges cleared at both
anchorages. 1t is certainly great undertake
ing for country town, but the benefits ac-
| cruiDg to Westminster will more than COM
pensate for the outlay.
The village has finally carried out the pro-
visions of the vote at the special corporation
meeting in september, that place or places
be arranged for the steamer by the canal or
river. Piles have been driven in the canal
back of Union block and a platform is being
| built there for that purpose.
| Rev. Ellsworth Fuller on's sermon at the
Congregational church next Sunday will be

and show the bearing they have on he subse-
quent actions of that misunderstood people.

j. and E. |. Stoodly died Sunday after a
severe illness of typhoid fever. The funeral
was held Tuesday afternoon at her fathers
house. Rev. w. |. Todd officiating. She was
pupil of Miss FulIer's school and her class
mates were present at the funeral, and con-
trbuted beautiful flowers.
Rev. Ellsworth Fullerton will give the lee
| ture to young men next Sunday evening at 6
p. m. Subject: The Young Man as Boss or
| Hand" Mr.. Fullerton is fully in sympathy
with the attempt of the churches of to-day to
enter into the practical questions of common
life. Few young men could fail to be inter-
ested in the question of how they can rise in
the world in pay, influence and the respect
of his felloWmen.
The concert given by Mr.. Markham and Miss
Cotton in the Baptist church Monday evening
was a most enjoyable one. BY his varied and
judicious selections and general management,
Mr.. Markham showed himself genius; while
as singer. as he ever does iii Bellows Falls,
he captivated everyone. The especial novelty
of the evening, however, was the Whstling
of Miss Coton. In this act she has but few
equals, if any superors, in New England,
though she is so young.
A dozen to Is of our elderly young people
might have been seen on recent evening,
filing by twos down Hapgood street with a
stealth and stiffness that BODIED an attack on
some one. a halt was called before the doors
of ID. d. Howard, but owing to the illness of
| Mrs. Howard the intended siege was with
drawn for time, The party left however
as testimony of their esteem and as souvenir
of tenth wedding anniversary, Il handsome
present, and g Dan" will probably get square
later.
| III. l.. Averill & Co. of Barre evolved a
brilliant scheme in connection with their at
| tempted theatrical business. Reeves Amer
| lean Danu WAS booked 10 pay al DTdllteDOTO
Monday evening. Mr.. Averil undertook to
put in "A date here aud telegraphed Mr.. Kin
Try Saturday to put up bills and also tele-
graphed the owner of Union hall for its use
Monday afternoon. The band went through
here, but no one heard its music. This town
| knows Mr.. Averll too HelI and he doesn't
get any hall unit he puts up the cash. There
is some due on account for use of the Opera
House, and probably always will be.
The story printed in a publication which
| circu,teS in town, to the effect that the three
orphans of the late Mrs. Stiles were to be
carried to the home for destitute children, is
like lots of other stories omanating from the
boy, were taken to West Rutland by Mrs
Stiles mother. 1t is thought however, that
they will be carried to "a chdren's school i'll
Burlington for years schooling, after which
they will return to Rutland and live with
their aunts and an uncle, sisters and brother
of their morher. They will not be separated
but will be kept together, for all of which the
friends of Mrs. Stiles feel thankful.
The Bellows Falls correspondent of the
Phoenix SAYS: g A number of instances have
occurred in the past few weeks where people
have missed trains at our station owing tC
putting reliance in the time tables published
in the local paper. Some Of the tables had
moi up to last week been changed since the
summer schedules in June Is that so! In
asmurh as the only time table which THE
TIMES is responsible for has not appeared
for thrt e weeks owing to press of matter
and inasmuch as the time tables which have
appeared are subject only to change by order
of the railroad authorities who pay for then
publication, the Phoenix correspondent might
well be shaken in IA hat with the Argus
Ananias. Furthermore, all time tables were
changed, by order otherwise, early il
October for the general change in schedules
The p. C. is apparently "holy terror OIL
facts.
