NEWBJJRY.

MISS DldHCue M, laughter VI u. Il
Bailey, was married to E. III. Hallett
at the home of her sister, Mrs. Street
er, at Lancaster last week. After a
wedding trip Mr.. and Mrs; Hallett will
live at Lisbon, where Mr.. Hallett holds
the responsible position of treasurer of
the Lisbon Savings Bank.
Charles Bowen, for some time tuner
in the Crown piano mandatory at
Chicago, is at home for two months
vacation, and will tune pianos for his
old customers during the time.
We notice by the Free Press that the
Fairlee post office case was settled by
a nominal fine without the appearance
in court of the postmaster. This de-
termlnes what everybody who knows
III. P. Warren expected, that there
was nothing but technical violation
of the law.
AS it is expected that large num-
Der of persons will attend the 4th of
July picnic at Camp Pineton, Mr.. Bal
lev asks that horses be hitched out
side the grounds.
VIM. HI. Silsby, Col. Dan Taicy and
Henry G. Rollins were in Montreal at
the Vermont G. A. r. encampment
last week.
What about the summer school to
be held at Bradford the last OF July?
School teachers make your plans to
attendl School directors, make your
plans to require the attendance OF all
teachers teaching or who intend to
teach in your respective towns.
A daughter came to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. H. A. Webb on Sunday,
June 25th.
First selectman Byron O. Rogers is
receiving numerous endorsements for
census enumerator for the town of
Newbury in 1900. We believe Mr..
Rogers is in every way well equipped
for this responsible duty. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note the
population of this town at the various
census taking periods to wit: 100, S73;
1900, 1904; 1910, 1868; 1920, 1923; 1880,
2225; 1910, 2579; 1850, 1884; 1860, 2549;
1870, 2241; 1880, 2316; 1890, POSI-; 1900,
guess it. 1t is remarkable fact our
population is less than it was 10 years
ago. 1t can however be easily under
stood if one will drive over our hills
notice the vacant and fast decaylng
houses and the clumpS of rose bushes,
forlorn lilac and Canada plum tree S
which stand guard over places once the
home of thrifty farmers with large
families. But this decrease in pOpula-
ton does not denote a corresponding
decrease in Newbury's wealth. We
believe the increase of years would
show steady increase in grand list,
and if memory is not at fault high
water mark was touched about 1885.
We are glad indeed to see our old
friend Prof. L. L. Tucker in town.
He with his family are spending a few
DAYS at the old West Newbury home,
absorbing Vermont air, drinking Yer
mont water and moving away Yer
mont grub, graSping Vermont hands
and touching Vermont hearts. So
be it!

as to be able to be about the house.
Schools throughout the town are
scheduled to close this week. New
bury has maintained ten schools out
side the village, and we believe with
out exception they have been profita-
BILE terms.
H. E. Cobleigh reports green peas
