The recently opened rooms of tht
Young Mems Christian association are
being, well patronized. The reading
room is supplied with the principal
current periodical and newspapers,
while games of various kinds are pro-
vided for the entertainment OF the
junior members. Several pieces OF
modern apparatus have been placed in
the gymnasium and much interest is
manifested in that department, Tho
good effects Of the recent convention
are apparent in the impetus given
the work Of the association. The
mems mass meeting yesterday after
noon was well attended. The topic for
the meeting was Life. f" 1t is the
purpose of the general secretary to
make these weekly services feature
Of the associations activity.
The work of excavating the roadway
east of the paper mills was begun last
week and is now about completed. The
iron pen stock for the new pulp mill
has arrived and will be placed in posi-

ing carried on the prepared wood for
Nos. 6 and pulp mills is being brought
around from the wood room by rail.
There was quite furry of excite
ment at the opera house Saturday even
ing when Deputy Sheriff Thompson
served subpoena upon one OF the
audience in the brisbane liquor case
and visions of an enforced visit to
Newfane began to afflict many who OBJ.
served the event. There was much I'M
easiness for while and no one knew
where the lightning would strike next. !,
A heart felt sigh of relief went up
from many breast when the officer
retired with satisfied air indicating
that he had no further duty to per.
form. This is the first time in several
years that any of our thirsty ones have
been called to the desert confines OF
Newfane to explain what they know of
Bellows Falls red eye. Time was,
when court week approached, many
found it more agreeable to take a
vacation about that time and the fish
were pursued with great zest but
only on the New Hampshire side of
the river. Meanwhile the sheriffs
would blunder about looking for Ger
tain ones but seldom found them. In
some occult way it would become
known whose name was on the list and
these worthless would be invisible
until after court time. Now that
more satisfactory condition exists
these semi annual fishing trips have
been discontinued and while we know
that the law is very effectually en-
forced by the present methods we miss
many of the amusing features OF
former times.
