Caste" as presented by the dramatic
club Friday and Saturday evenings, left
very favorable impression on the minds of
the audiences, which, though smaller than
expected, were appreciative, especially on
the last evening. The play afforded great
er opportunity for acting than the plays
previously presented and not little dram
attic talent was manifested by each member
of the cast. The next entertainment for
the benefit of the piano fund will probably
be the two-act comic operetta "Santfem-
me" composed and directed by Newton
Clarke of Bellows Falls.
The village improvement society has
gotten under way and is making extensive
improvements on the sidewalks between
Ed Knights's and James Crawfords. A
carload of coal ashes mas been bought of
the Boston IL Maine railroad company and
will be placed upon the walks and covered
with soil to prevent its being tracked into
houses. Selfish motives may induce some
to oppose this action of the society, but
there is no doubt that the society is acting
in commendable way and in a way which
will win the ultimate approval of all, Co
operation on the part of residents along the
line of action is one of the auxiliaries es-
sential to the success of the movement.

getting fire engine. This time it was the
bobbin factory of r. F. Jenerson. The fire

stack falling on the roof of the building,

timely assistance of the men who were at
work on the ditch near by, not only the
factory but large stock of bobbins in the
dry house would have been burned. Have
we got to wait until the remainder of the
village is burned before we have a fire de-
partment, or will these little blazes, which
might have been larger if not for their
timely discovery, stimulate up to the point
of doing and not talking?
