pleasant days, and people have been
able to do necessary work. AS COM
pared with the two past winters there

The intense cold is causing much
inconvenience in many villages and
towns by freezing and injury to the
water works system. Bradford and
Barre are in much trouble on ac-
count of their "freeze ups" So far
we have been fortunate here. There
is no freeze, or break, or shortage Of
water up to this time. The May Pond
reservoir is full and will be put to use
if needed.
o. HI. Mossman of the Crystal Lake
Mills announces that after Feb. 1st no
grain or feed will be sold on credit at

and others are coming to the conclu
sion that the cash system is the only
correct one.
