on Monday afternoon, and that items
should reach the Office Saturday, if posi-
BILE. Nothing is ommitted which we can
set, or have space for, but we are limited
in the amount of work we can do on

The books of the town library have been
divided and portion of them will be sent
to Barton Landing. 1t is presumed that
there will be an exchange of books between
the two villages later. The MONITOR Of
flee will get out catalogue of the books
very soon, which will be put into the
hands of all citizens who wish it.
Sunday, Jan. 80, 1898, will have a record
as one of the coolest days in many years.
The thermometer ranged from 80 to 40 de-
grees below zero at o'clock, a. M, in all
this section; at noon it was from ten to
fifteen below, reaching thirty more in
the evening. During the night the tenn
perature moderated from twenty to
twenty five degrees.
The Morrisville Citizen states that the
business at the town liquor agency is good,
in that temperate and busy town,
Notwithstanding the times, and that much
of the money comes from pocketbooks
which are lean and poor. The liquor
agent, unlike the average liquor agent,
pulls every fellow whom he finds making
bad use of his liquor or who obtains it
under false pretenses.
The announcement that Comrade Luther
B. Harris of Lyndonville will be candi-
date for Department Commander in the q.
A. r. of the State, is well received here.
He is well-known and is eminently quail
fed for the Office. He has military
record of which any man might feel
proud; he is man of fine executive
ability, is good speaker and has the in
terest of the soldier at heart. Let the Posts
n this section give him an Enthusiastic
support.
The MONITOR is willing to acknowledge
that it pu blishes some ssfacts" which are not
SO. This we regret, and offer the excuse
that ourselves and our correspondents are
misinformed many times and that we all
have small ears. The editor learns to be
cautious, but he has to rely on somebody.
1t is really surprising how people who in
tend to be truthful will hear, report, and,
sometimes, eXaggerate in giving an ac-
count Of something which they ought to
know about.
While in Newport recently we called on
Judge Alfred at the Probate Office and
was shown through the vault in which all
OF the legal papers and books connected
with the office are kept. The Judge has
just had large case containing $50 boxes
made and arranged in alphabetical order
SO that it is possible to find in moments
time and without the slightest trouble,
the papers connected with any estate.
These papers had hitherto been tied up in
bundles and laid away, but Mr.. Alfred has
had folders made in which the papers of
each estate are kept, safe and in good con-
dition.

The special meetings at the M. E. church

Lewis Smith, brother of FL. 3. Smith of
this place, died of typhoid fever, at St.
Johnsbury last week. The remains were
brought here Thursday and placed in the
tomb.
Geo. Smith has sold his place to Jesse
Cooper of Barton. Price, $1,000. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith will move to New Haven,
Conn.,, so as to be near their daughter,
Mrs. Alger.
H. S. Webster has added greatly to the
appearance as well as to the convenience
Of the post-office .by arranging the boxes
in V shape, instead of having a straight
front as formerly. This gives an opportu
nifty for a larger number of lboxes, and
makes it easier in distributing the mail.
The annual donation for the benefit of
the pastor will be held at the M. E. church
