We understand that a decree OF fore

Terrill and Mrs. Edward Terriil, for the

L. G. Batchelder OF Mortified was at W.

taiply ii greatly lessons the work In the
house. Many Of our farmers are taking
advantage OF Spear and Wilson's new Ma
pie creamery, making the early morning

We wonder where all the hay to be cut
this season will be stored. Nearly every
barn In Barnard has old hay and some are
well filed with last years crop. Seldom,
II ever. has grass looked so well at this
time OF year and the time Is close at hand
for cutting. ALI other crops are looking
fine, with good prospect OF bountifui
harvest. The maple worms are not plenty
near the village, but some complaints are
made from other parts and we fear that
they will prove terrible pest.
Ebert Miller, the town school superin- |
tendent, met the board of directors last |
week, making arrangements for the adj
vance OF education. Notwithstanding that |
few In Barnard favor the present law, yet |
the board and superintendent will make |
an effort to prove Its success. They pro-
pose TO build large and convenient book
case in the town ball for use In storing |
old gone by schoolbooks. The case should /
be made with q glass front so that taxpay-
ers may have a view Of their assets.
Rev. Fr. Drouhin celebrated mass at the /

4 collection was taken up In aid OF fur
nishing the new pastoral residence in
and the audience came cheer
fully forward with a contribution Of
aighty-five dollars. Father Drouhin |
thankfully acknowledged that surely his
lines had fallen in pleasant places.
Michael Reagan, owning and living on
y hat is known as the Waldren farm, is
lbout to build a new barn. Mr.. Reagan
zane to Barnard from st. Adams a num-
Der of years ago, bought this farm when
real estate was high, ran in debt for the
purchase money, raised a large family,
built over the bouse, made many improve
nents on the barns and other buildings
md brought the land into such a good
state of cultivation that 1t produces double
he crops it did when he first occupied 1t,
10 now he must have more barn room.
Surely a good farmer can make the bust
ness pay In Barnard.

treat speed. She was sired by Argyle, a

Son of Williamstown. Argyle is a good
horse, shows the Lambert style and his
,olts are proving first-class. Josie ID. was
n a race at Tunbridge last fall but took
10 record. We are looking for a good
BROOD mare with this Lambert. Dan
