AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

| III Is d W0Il-kuOWu ldcU UudU one u
the leading enterprises, not only Of
MorrisviIle, but in this section of the
State, is the bakery business of |. A.
White & Co. Started here as little
industry dozen years ago, it has
grown until now it is conceded to be
an enterprise of which the county
may we'll be proud. It's goods are
shipped to nearly all parts of the
State as well as into Northern New
Hampshire and New York. Parties
from Burlington have had an eye on
the plant for some time and they
have finally made Mr.. White a very
liberal offer to move the same to
that city, where it would receive
great financial aid and be made one
of the leading industries OF that place.
Mr.. White has the proposition under
consideration, and while he has not
as vet come to any decided conclu-
sion. he expresses himself as anxious
to he loyal to Morrisville, and any
inducement the town might make to
have him keep the plant here would
be seriously considered. In the warn
ing for the special town meeting to
be held Saturday, March gath, is an
article to see if the town will vote to
exempt the Morrisville bakery from
taxation for the term of five years.
Should this be done, it will be an in
dication that the business is wanted
here. We believe our towns-people
will see that this is an important
matter, and that if by exempting
this business for few years it can be
kept here, it should be done. We
have too few. business enterprises and
can afford to lose none of them.
Anything of reasonable character
that will keep an enterprise of this
kind in our midst should receive care
full consideration and be cheerfully
granted. Towns-people, what do
you say?
THE LIBRARY ENTERTAINMENT.
The first annual benefit for our
public library must be put on record
as a success; successful in a CASTRO
nomical, intellectual and social way,
as well as financially. Much credit is
due those who by personal attention
saw to the numerous details, which
meant hard work. Mr.. Doty, chair
man of the executive eommitte, is a
whole team by himself, while the diff
ferent committees proved equal to
task imposed. The quick response
from all, the town over, when called
upon for substantial aid by way of
food, was very gratifying, and the
attendance of so many from outside
the village was a pleasing feature.
Mrs. Gleed, always interested in the
library, as a member of the executive
committee and head of the entertain
ment committee, was an important
factor in the successful outcome of
the plan. The brief entertainment,
"The Circulating Library" was of a
unique character and afforded con-
siderable amusement. Mrs. Slocum,
as librarian, called out the books
composing the library, which were as
follows -

rails Guard. Don Sanders; Old Fashioned Girl,
