In view of the fact that there are
always number of hangers-on who
take advantage of the circus and oc-
casionallv make themselves familiar

Another strip of concrete walk
On Spring street, between Webster
and Church, is to be laid this sum-
mer. Plank sidewalks require a
great deal of care, and call for
constant vigilance to keep them in
decent order; and when that sort of
walk is banished entirely and sub
stantial concrete substituted there

concerned.
Mrs. David Trull of Spring street,

on Prospect street in this village, to
be used as an old ladies home, Mrs.
H. o. Cushman of Boston has done
a very generous thing, and steps
should be taken at once to ensure
the blishment here of an institu-
tion OF that sort. The location is an
excellent one, and there is not the
slightest doubt that a we'll conducted
home would be fully occupied and
prove blessing to its inmates and
an honor to the town.
The St. Johnsbury band has given
two very choice outdoor concerts the
past week-the first on Depot Park

by large and appreciative audiences.
The quality of the programme on
each occasion was of the best, and
the individual and concerted work of
the players was very finished. The
village of St. Johnsbury has reason
to be proud of its band, than which
there is no better in the state.
