Prof. B. c. Day and Rev. r. c.
Noodle of Craftsbury, who have beer
on circuit through the county exam
lining teachers the past week, made us q
call on Saturday. They report pleas
ant trip, and, as whole, a large num-
Der of well qualified teachers. Mr.

SchooF' last season shows its effect III
the county, and there is demand fo1
like gathering this season.
A stallion exhibition under the aus
pices of the Northern Caledonia Fai1
Association will be given at Lyndon
vile next Wednesday. All horsemen
are interested in this meeting and all
| lovers of good horse flesh should be
ehere. The Passumpsic railroad offers
reduced rates over its entire division,
and the first stallion exhibition of this
society should have a large attend
ance. General w. w. circuit will de-

n. NJ. Scott & Sons have bought OF
| B. NJ. r. Nelson his block on the cor
ner of Avenue and Pearl St., ST. Johns
| bury. The Republican surmises that
the block will be remodeled next sea-
son and that the SCOTS will sooner or
| later move their business across the
road to this building. This is a very
eligible site for business and is also a
property that is renting at large per
cent on the investment price. The
Scott Bros. have been very successful
in business at ST. Johnsbury.
The funeral services of Mrs. @. F.
Percival were held at the Catholic
church on Wednesday, large num-
Der of neighbors and friends attend
ing. The solemn funereal cere-
monies of the church, accompanied by
appropriate singing, was followed by
explanatory remarks by Father WEN
ic. A large number of flowers and fun
eral emblems were placed on the casket
and about the altar, and the whole
scene was sad and impressive. The
sympathy of many friends is extend
ed to Mr.. Percival, his little son and
other sorroWing friends.
We dropped into the Enterprise Of
fee at Barre recently and found Bro.
Scott and wife sticking type and do
ing the busy work of a newspaper Of
| fee. The Enterprise seems to be in a
prosperous condition. The list increas-
es, the advertising patronage is large,
and a new steam engine is added to
furnish power. The Enterprise will
soon be moved into a new block where
| larger and better quarters will afford
more room for business and for
growth. May the Enterprise be what
it's name suggests and fully keep pace
with the enterprising town in which
it is published.
MIR. Davis and the milliners were
visited on Saturday by a large number
of people who came out to see the
new store, new goods, etc. Mr.. Davis
did not have his goods ali in, but his
shelves were well filled and the store
is convenient and very pretty. Mrs
Freeman and Miss Whitney's millin-
cry store was beautifully trimmed and
decorated with millinery goods, plants,
pictures, etc. Mrs. Barstow also had
her rooms Hastily arranged and show
ed a fine line of goods. It viii pay the
people who have not already dropped
into these stores to do so while they
are in their "opening'' trim.
