The case of George NJ. Bemis against

upon trial in the Bennington county court
Tuesday. The suit is brought to recover

Iownspeople will have rare treat IN.

oel Oh the club is an artist and the enter
Valnment will be of high order. w. O.
Amldon, of the firm of G.. j. Amidon 90
SONS, VINO was instrumental in securing
Che services of these musicians. does moi
40 II with any idea of gain, but from a de-
sire that Hinsdale people may have an on
portunity of listening TO really fine con
cert out OF the common, and the price of
admission is so moderate that this can be
no excuse for missing the finest musical en-
lertalnment we shall have this season.
Inc village is indebted to Mr.. Amidon in
many ways for his enterprise and his de-
sire TO Keep alive the spirit of progress.
Last year when business was at a stand
sui and the grass bid fair to grow in the
public streets, he brought out, largely at
MS own expense, series of hustling base
ball games, gathered in crack players from
abroad and so worked up the village that
II shook Off its lethargy and has been more
awe and alert ever since. A fact that
very many people never consider is this,
That whatever conduces to the prosperity,
material growth and advancement of a
town or village as a whole, helps equally
every individual in it, and if there were
more wide-awake, progressive, stirring
young men like Mr.. Amidon in our coun-
try towns there would be fewer "aban.
doned farms" and less stagnation in point
of growth and prosperity.

The Reported Change at the County
Farm.


The report that Mr.. and Mrs. Norman
Darling of Brattleboro are to take charge
OF the Cheshire county farm and aims
house at Westmoreland seems to have no
foundation in point of fact. A. A. Whit
man as superintendent and Mrs. Whitman
as matron have conducted the affairs of
the establishment for several years to the
entire satisfaction of the county commits
sioners, who state that they have no
knowledge of any contemplated change
and not only this, but the general puoic
is loud in its praise of the excellent man
ner in which all the details of management
are carried out, 1t would be a genuine
loss to the county if Mr.. and Mrs Whit
man should resign their positions, and
their places would be hard to fill 1t is
possible that the persons named as sue
cessors may have been engaged by the su.
perintendent as assistants in the new in
sane ward just completed, as the commits
sioners are obliged to remove some of the
permanently insane persons who are now
county charges at the Concord asylum on
account of the crowded condition of the
latter institution, and this will necessitate
more assistants at Westmoreland.
