THE TO WIN MEETING, JUNE 40,

A special town meeting has been called
for Monday, June 20, at 2 p. NJ. Follow
ing are the articles:
To see if the town will vote TO build a
new retaining wall and straighten the high
way opposite the residence of Mrs. Benson
in Centreville.
To see if the town will vote to appro-
pirate sum of money not exceeding $500,
in addition to the 5000 already appropri-
ated, to equip the town house for electric
lighting.
To see what measures the town will
adopt for procuring the money necessary
for the purposes mentioned in articles l
and of this warrant.
The selectmen have called the meeting
in order to test public sentiment on the ex'
penditures. While broad-minded policy
ought to prevail in regard to all improve.
ments which are really necessary, there
are sufficient reasons why the current ex,
penses of the present year ought to be kept
within the appropriations already made and
why no addition should be made to the
debt or the tax rate for another year. The
matter will bear careful consideration.

Jones, came to Brattleboro from Winches-
ter, n. H., bringing with them their cabi-

The failure of the electric cars to run
Sunday was disappointment to many and
brought out many inquiries as to the cause.
After the shut down Saturday night work
was begun making cOnnectionswith theme
engine with the expectation that the work
would be completed in season to get to
running on time in the morning. The job
proved to be greater than was anticipated
and the cars did not start until 2 O'clock

chorus OF eighty voices moved as one In
quick response to every sign or beat from
their leader, and Mr.. Hawley was, with
reason, very proud of their work. Deli
cacy, sympathy, grandeur, animation,
worship, reverence and enthusiasm
were displayed i'm their rendering
of the different choral numbers and
a finer body of singers or better render
ings have never been heard here. In their
attack and finish, in their crescendos, ritar-
dandos, diminuendos and holds the eyes
of all were upon their conductor most no
ticeably and with wonderful results.
In the last number the part by the con
cealed quartet, in the basement of the hall,
was very finely rendered indeed
The distinctness of enunciation was es-
pecally marked and the more noticeable
! because of its rarity. We understand that
this is the result of careful training and
was the subject of frequent remark at the
rehearsals of the union.
Much credit very much, is due to Miss
Bruce, in attendance gratuitously at every
rehearsal, and TO Mr.. Knight, with like ser
vice, for their Accomplishments on piano
and organ. To a conductor it must be
constant satisfaction to have such assist
ance and assistants whose quick response

municated to chorus. Very much credit
is due to all members, but specially, we are
told, to Rev. Mr.. Leavtt and his associates,
Mrs. Thompson and Mr.. Hall, for their
self-sacriicing committee work throughout
the season. Recognition of the apprecia-
tion by the chorus of the work of the con-
ductor and accompanies was made at the
opening of part second, in the presentation
of bouquets of roses and carnations by Mr..
Leavitt.
We are told that is the purpose of the
union to give two concerts each season and
it is quite sure that future presentations
will be more largely attended We see nc
reason why their self-sacrificing work for the
esthetic good of our community should moi
merit also the concession of the auditorium
