Read the Prospectus Of Hcrper''s
Bazar, and Hdrper's Weekly. While 9th
er magazines are good, it is probable
that the Harper is first in every line.

$475, including MONITOR. This brings
the cost to our subscribers at only
1915.

The heavy storm that visited this
section on Thursday was worse in
many sections than in Northern Yer
mont. It extended almost all over
the country, snow falling as far south
as Georgia and No. Carolina. The
New England railroads were quite
badly blockaded. Damage to shipping
was heavy.
Owing to increased expense in max
ing and mailing the Burlington Free
Press twice a week, instead of once,
the publishers are compelled to make
the price higher, and we shall be oblig-
ed to raise the club rate with their
paper to 1926. The Free Press is
very reliable paper and "dog cheap"
at that price.
The Lecture Course committee are
expecting a very fine entertainment
at Opera Hall on Thursday evening
next,at which time the Harvard Quar-
tet and Miss Ella Chamberlin, the not
ed whistler, will appear. 1t will be
in every sense a first class entertain
ment. Get your tickets early at He. /
Pierce's. See advertisement in an
other column.
Our agents have pretty much COW I
cred the ground, but those subscrib-
ers who did not see them are entitlsd |
to all the advantages of our club list I
for the present. They can send their
orders by mail, by postal orders,
checks, or money in we'll sealed and
directed letters. Considering the
times, the, MONITOR list stands up
heavy. Many new subscribers have
been added in the last few months. If
there are any who desire to stop the
paper they must notify us at once.
Do not drizzle along three or four
weeks and then order it stopped with
out paying arrearages due on it. That
is not honorable.
Christmas was duly recognized here
by Sunday services, exercises and
trees. The Catholics observed the oc
casion after their customs and had
cantata exercises that were very
pleasing. At the Congregational
church a fine cantata was rendered
On Monday night, the children having
been thoroughly drilled by Miss Lena
Dewey and others. The singing and
other exercises were very good. At
5he Methodist church g cantata was
given, the children and others doing
their parts we'll. A large tree and sew
sral smaller ones were laden with
Christmas gifts, among the most val
liable of which was a fine fur coat
for the pastor, F. w. Lewis, The
PASTORS family were remembered by
gifts valued at about $75. Mrs. Jew
ell, organist, received nice piece of
and gold coin in appre
citation of services rendered.
