The work on the Harding factory
goes bravely on despite the short days
and cool weather. The basement story
is UP and the next two stories will be
pretty nearly framed this week.
A sharp earthquake was felt about
11:45 a. m. to-day. There was quite a
heavy rumbling and the jar continued
for some seconds. One reliable citi-
zen who experienced the shock re-
ported that he thought his wife had
fallen down stairs.
Francis Jewell, Fred Pillsbury and
Mary Blake are home from Montpel-
Ter Seminary on a vacatlon. MI.
Jewell and Mr.. Pillsbury are mem
bers of the Seminary Banjo and Con-
cert Club, which expects to do some
concerning between schools.
John Batchelder is selling tickets
for the Remenyi concert, which Will
be held at Newport on Friday even
ing, Dec. 1. Mr.. Remenyi has his
daughter with him this time and two
other fine musical artists. Those who
heard this celebrated violinist last
year pronounced his playing wonder
full. There ought to be a good attend
ance from this section Of the county.
The opportunity is a rare one.
Somebody reminds US that u ar
ticle about Mrs. Alex Benton being in
Barton was a mistake, the lady hav-
ing long been dead. 1t would have
been better to have said, "relative of
Mrs. Alex Benton" Mistakes in the
local paper are often useful in show
ing how much mor other people
know than the editor does. The av-
erage country editor knows a few
things that are SO, and a great many
that are not sc.
The following is said of M. M. Rob-
bins of Brattleboro, who is to lecture
upon "The White City, in Opera Hall,
Dee. 10, under the auspices of the Ep-
worth League. The lecture is made
beautifully plain and very interesting
by a series of excellent stereopticon
views. Mr.. Robbins receives unqual-
fed endorsements from Gov. Fuller,
Gen. Estey and other notable men of
his own city. Watch for further no.
tees of the lecture and see if you de-
sire to miss it.
The advertisement of the M6ntpe-
lier Seminary, winter term, appears
in this issue, which please read. From
personal observations and reports we
learn that the fall term has been a
most excellent and useful one. The
school, under DR.. Smiths administra-
ton, has been very harmonious and
pleasant, an unusually good class-of
students being present. The order
and tone Of the school have been most
satisfactory. A large number r pur-
literary courses, while the bust
and musical departments have
been full. The %elocution students have
made great advancement. The pros
pect for the winter term is excellent.
We take space for our club list this
week. Make up your minds what
periodicals you wish this year and
club with the MONITOR. We presume
our subscribers are not aware of the
fact, but clubbing is the source of no
profit to US, only that it encourages
subscribers to pay up early and in adj
vance. The matter of clubbing in
wolves a vast deal Of labor for us, but
it ave money and trouble for our
prompt subscribers. Get your money
n early. MONITOR agents will visit
post-offices later we expect, but
it is a safe way to order direct. Post
masters will send in money for such
rs desire it done. If not ordered of
Us, see agents when they r around.
Those who L in 6 will find us
and our agents ready to take arrear-
age money. Try and see.
The talk about bank matters here
the last few days has shown
hat there really is a demand here for
/ Savings bank. A charter was re-
at the last legislature for a
savings bank and trust company, but
or some reason,w will not say what,
he baby has been put to sleep, we
with a not fatal %soporifc. Those
n whose hands the matter lies will
10 well to ascertain what public senti-
nent is and act accordingly. Money
s being sent away constantly to
leighboring banks and the people are
put to inconvenience, both in loaning
md in borrowing money. The time
las come when a Savings bank should
,e run in connection with the Barton
National bank. Another season a
