AS to invitations to the charity ball in aid
OF the Heaton Hospitals LIST it be distinctly
understood, and let every one bear the fact
constantly in mind, that there will be no
individual invitations. Everybody, old or
young, Is invited, and his company, with
his wife or best girl, is very particularly
desired. For those that dance there will be
dancing; for the hungry there will be re
freshments; for those that love music there
will be a concert and the pleasure Of watch
ing from the galleries of spacious Armory
Hall !" the glances OF the many twinkling
feet" And there will very likely be some
twinkling" that will be worth watching
There will undoubtedly be a renaissance OF
dances and dancers, for the old folks as
well a. the young will be- on the floor. So
come one, come ALL for merry time, and
above all for sweet charity's sake.

MANY years have passed since the Yer
mont Dairymen' Association held its an
nual meeting in Central Vermont. 1t has
gone around the edge of the state and into
its corners, but it has not been at the cen
ter. In 1888 the association was ON its last
legs. An application was made to the legis
lature in that year for state aid. A Wash
ington county man. Hon. William Chaplin
drew the bill, Washington county mem
Der, Charles Dole of Northfield introduced
it, and Washington county paper, the
WATcHMAN, supported it. At the latter's
instance the annual appropriation asked
for was made $1,000 instead of $500, a,
origiu ally contemplated, and with thil
amendment the bill became a law. Since
that time the association has f1ourshed, blu
since that time it has not held meeting IL
Washington couniy, or nearer the capita
of the state than Burlington. The WATCH
MAN submits, therefore, that Montpelier bt
the place selected for the next meeting
The city is centrally located. Its hote
accommodations are unequaled in the state
