to this before winter sets in, as these
handsome street signs are something

THE concert by the Swedish quartette

enjoyable entertainments of the many

graciously responded to the many en-
cores given them. The concert was also
a success financially.
AT no one time during the year have

tatoes being loaded into cars.
THERE is not street in this village
that needed a sewer as bad as Dewey
Avenue, and yet that locality is cut off
from the present sewer system. All
sorts of proposals, at the expense largely
of the property owners of that street,
have been made to obviate the trouble in
drainage there. 1t has been fixed tenn
porarily for the winter, but a public sew
er in that locality is bound to be had
sooner or later.
THE Fitchburg, Mass, Sentinel of Oct.
25th, says; ga very pretty monument
has been erected in Forest Hill cemetery,
in memory of Bernice Maiorie Lunan.
The monument is of Barre granite and is
frst-class in every respect. A life sized
female figure holding bunch of flowers
in one hand at the side, and flowers in
the other hand which rests across the
breast, stands upon pedestal four feet
high. A bevel faced granite marker,
marks the head of the grave E. Esta-
brook of Bennington, cut the monument,
and came down to superintend its cree
ton. Mr.. Estabrook has an extensive
business of wide reputation, and this
piece of work reflects great credit upon
his skill"
