work for the Central Vermont Railway
company, having rendered his resignation
! the first OF the month. Mr.. Nichols has a
record tor steady work that is rarely par
alleled. He began as common laborer
In the bridge department Just after the

Announcement is made today Of the op-

to the management and, with the array OF
talent taken from the leading voices oft

tertainment well worthy OF their patron

taste. The "Recluseh is one OF his own |
and has been given to de- |
lighted audiences in the cities OF New |
York, New England and Pennsylvania |

pleased with the music and the marches, |
and the dances by the young people have /
created lively interest. A former resident |
clusen at W. X. Junction, said al would |
give two dollars to see the court dance
alone" Tickets will go on sale at Bass
Monday morning.

only, except as paid for at regular mes
sage rates. Heretofore, those who have
had instruments in the territory covered
by the old so called Brown line, EN- brac-
ng Washington county and part of
Lamoille and Orange, as far
iouth as Randolph, have been privileged
% talk anywhere in this section without

ervice. After Oct. LIST, those who rent
will only have the privilege

d that many will care to pay $50 for this
light convenience and a general ordering
nut OF "machines" is likely to ensue. ,

y" resting on our necks, but there is
abstraction in the reflection that the .
ompany will suffer a curtailment in its :
eceipts as the result OF its short sig hted
