AS TO THE CHRISTMAS TRADE

AS IU IfIE CHRISTMAS IKADE.
 The merchants on Main street com plain of very small Christmas trade so far, but it cannot be wondered at when It is taken into consideration that none of the factories are working over four days | week; others only three days and then with only limited number of employees. There was large force of men working on the highway, cleaning out the gutters, carting away snow and otherwise inn proving travel, but these have been dis pensed with. Applications for aid are constantly being handed in to the board and Investigator Manville does not have many idle moments to spare from the regular work of looking into the real worthiness of new applicants.

THIS IS TOO BAD.

At the adjourned meeting of the Wa tertown Agricultural and Horse Associ- ation the officers were instructed to wind up the affairs of the concern by vote of 33 to 22. 1t is hoped that this will not be the cause of discontinuing the annual fairs, as some enterprising individuals might buy the grounds and run it as they would their own private affairs and make paying investment. The trouble with organizations requiring the support of the community and a great many free helpers, is that they get to be an old story and after while the interest dies out, while an en- terprise run by few individuals with the almighty dollar to be gotten, goes all right.
