Why We Call 1t
Store News"

We generally avoid the use Of the
word advertisement" because in its
later significance it savors of solicit
alton. And to solicit you TO come or
TO buy are things that we never do.
We try to put the facts before you,
and leave the rest to you. We don't
argue and we don't lie. Here is the
store-news of the day. II it interests
you, you will come in. If it doesn't,
we are regretful, but resigned. On
this principle, you can understand
why we try to make the news as
economically interesting as we pos
sibly can. The facts must do their
own talking, consequently they must
be forcible. A bad bargain is the very
worst thing we could give you for
our own interests. So we make them
good, quite as much for our own ben
eft as for yours. Here are some of
the bargains we are Offering this
week,

Mrs. Townshend is out again after be-
ing housed six weeks.
Mrs. NJ. o. Howe has taken her turn at
being on the sick list for two weeks.
Ringing of the church bell at midnight
last week startled many, and men quickly
reused to lend a hand in eXtinguishing
fire. 1t was but a hen house, however,
where ashes had been stored on the Hill
family. When discovered the roof was
falling in, but fence connecting with the
house buildings was on fire and few min
utes continued burning might have made
the house past saving. The night was
still and a heavy snow storm was a friend
in need and deed, or the church close by
and other buildings might have been ma
terial for disastrous fire.
Among passengers Saturday evening on
the narrow-gauge train whose engine was
derailed by fallen rocks II miles from
Brattleboro were Landlord Davis with Il
pounds of meat as hand baggage, French
wood-chopper living five or six miles from
the village, George Miller and VIM. Fish
er, who decided to walk the remaining ten
miles, reaching here at $50. Messrs. Mil
Ter and Fisher had three miles further tc
Walk. OLaIlOn agent DallOu anu d. IL
Underwood sent for teams to meet them
The train came in about o'clock Sunday
morning. No mail was delivered here till
return of the train on Monday morning.
On the whole sugar making has proved
somewhat depressing business. Only
the earliest and most accessible maple or
chards have been profitable. 1t was with
extreme difficulty that roads could be made
in some places on account of hard crust!
of snow at different depths until buds wer,
about ready to swell. Other places seem
ed not to thaw out sufficiently for sap tC
run. Now and then hand sled has beer
used on the frozen snow early in the morn
ing for gathering purposes. Fred j. John
sons early lot has responded encouraging
" much of the time since the last day o
February, and his supply was of very mic
quality. Mr.. Barber on the Carpente
farm also was fortunate in early tapping
and having all new utensils, tin buckets
etc., he has brought an excellent grade o
syrup and sugar to market. Mr.. Mico
has done well with G. B. Johnson's high
way and nearby trees. Later there will
probably be, to some extent, an ingathel
ing at the stores from certain fine-tlavore
distant hill groves that are holding bacl
for the settling of travelling.

NEwFANE.
The sixth Month of snow.

The adjourned session of county court
brought no jury cases this week. "If there
is anything to come back for there will be
another adjourned session." said one of
the prominent lawyers. A certain dispir-
tied air, apparently in subsection, howev-
err, to logged determination, hung over
the waiting court representatives and 9TH
ers at the station on Wednesday morning
1t seemed not so much that they had not
found Newfane delightful and salubrious
winter resort in April as that they might
have been subjected at their various homes
to the winters existing conditions in the
line of what doctors call "depressants.
This is the sixth month of continuous
snow since the hard blizzard late in No
vember, four of the months being solid
with snow and prolonged cold. The cold
of December and January was sufficiently
steady to keep the slight amount of snow
in those months in high shedding favor.
The winds tossed their great snow falls in
February's cutting air. March came in like
lamb and went out likewise, but between
times came many mighty blasts from the
roaring lion, and our neighbor who keeps
a diary vouches for 10 March days of storm
during part or all of the day. April
brought weeks sleighing and promise of
snow banks till about May l, and as yet no
hint of the April showers that bring forth
May flowers.
During most of these months intluenZas
have dragged their slow lengths along in
one town or another. Entire families
have been Frustrated, relapses of colds
have kept victims downtrodde1 and i'm
prisoned within four walls. Lurking
chronic and unsupported ails have Haunted
themselves to the front and nerves have
been rritated to the explosive point; but
in spite of it all it has been refreshing to
observe that good courage has, generally,
dominated, though worn and depressed
look has at times characterized so many
faces.
