A Year at the Avenue House.

Landlord Doyle has just closed his first
years business at the Avenue House, and
as the hotel is public institution it NAV
interest our readers to know what the
house has done. No one thought that
Mr.. Doyle could make any money out of
it, and the writer knew of at least one
bet that was made by two travelling
men that Mr.. Doyle would not run the
hotel six months. Mr.. Doyle has taken
in cash in the ~ months So $40 90, and
has on the books about $500 more
This is very nearly up to the amount of
his estimate in the beginning. 1t costs
$3.50 per month through the winter
months for heating and from $50 to $40
per month Tor lighting. One item OF ex.
pense, the bill tor meats. Amounted TO
S3699. so for the year. This does not in
cude fish aud game. This is within $40
OF his estimate in the beginning and the
house has paid beyond his expectations.
Mr.. Doyle naturally wonders why
more townspeople do not patronze his
MOTEL tor occasional meals and it would
seem a matter of economy for families to
take Sunday dinners there. He also
makes the low price of So a week for
room and board, which is the lowest
price in town for service offered. The
Avenue House is a hotel in which our
town takes just pride and it deserves a
more liberal patronage.

Death of Jarvis r. Bartlett.

Jarvis X. Bartlett died at his home on
Railroad street yesterday, at 8 Is in the
morning. after an illness Of about seven
years. He was an old resident and one
of the well known men in town, always
having pleasant word for acquaint-
ances.
He was born in Newbury in 1910, and
was, therefore, GO years old. His early
life was spent in Newbury. When the
Passumpsic railroad was being built be
came here and secured position as
brakeman, from which he worked up to
an engineers seat, and ran the first train
into Barton over the new road.
In 1860 he left the railroad and entered
the meat and grocery business on Rail-
road street, in the old Daniels market,
which business he continued for several
years. The latter part of his working
life was spent in running a restaurant in
the basement OF the old Avenue House.
He was village trustee for several terms
and was very prominent member Of
the Masonic bodies.
He was married in 1858 to Lydia ].
Allen Of Danvlle. His widow, one son
Harry A. and a brother Charles P. OF
Woodsville, N. H., survive him. The
funeral will be held at his late residence
tomorrow morning at 10 o ylock and the
remains will be inferred in Mount Pleas
ant cemetery. 1t will be a Masonic
with knight Templar escort.

pie are brought together from differ
ent parts Of the town, and a closer
acquaintance is secured without
which brotherly sympathy is not
possible.
If some church had the courage to
try it, one improvement might be
made. If the weekly prayermeeting
and the church sociable could be
combined, the ideal church gathering
would result. The people might
come together at seven O'Clock and
sperd fifty minutes in song and
prayer and testimony. Then the
prayermeeting could give way to the
sociable with its supper and its freer
social intercourse. BY such a COM
bination new lite would be infused
into the prayermeeting, and the
sociable would gain in dignity and
Christian spirit. Not many of us
have reached the point where we
know how to be religious and act
perfectly natural at the same time.
1t is an art worth practicng. and
there would seem to be no better
place for it's cultivation than the
social gatherings of the church.
