lar in this part of the state and has proved
a great help to the teachers. The in
structors this year are among the best to
be obtained and the instruction will be
first-class. The management are plan
ming to make the occasion an enjoyable
one in social sense and will provide en-
tertainments for this purpose.
The Peerless Company received new
Wilcox & Gibbs sewing machine last week
which has speed of 5000 revolutions in
minute. This is the latest production of
fast running machines and works almost
noiselessly. The average of the machines
now in use in the factory is from 400 to
1900 revolutions so it will be seen what an
Improvement the new machine represents.
If the machine does all that is claimed for
it the company will purchase others.

use-this week in publishing Congress
man Spaulding's speech delivered at Buff
falo, July 18th, and trust our readers will
find pleasure and information by perusing
it. Captain Spaulding is a profound think

teresting speaker.
A change of time has been made in the
banking hours of the two banks in this
village. In the future they will be open
from a. N. until p. m. without any in
PERMISSION. This will accommodate quite
a number of people who often desire to get
into the banks during the noon hour, both
those who live in the village and people
residing out of town. 1t will make one
more hour during which the banks will be
open. This plan has already been adopted
in several other towns. Remember the
change. You can not get in after O'Clock
in the afternoon.
Will Heating, who has been running the
engine of the gravel train between this
village and the Landing, met with an ac-
cident one day last week by which he
nearly lost the middle finger on his right
hand. He was fixing some part Of his en-
CINE when his fireman started up slowly
pinn1ng Mr.. Keating's hand in the machin
cry, ond but for the prompt action on the
part of the fireman the finger would have
been severed. Mr.. Heating has been visit
ing his sister, Mrs. James Cassiday, for
the past few days.
Mr.. Wesley Powell is in Canada looking
up old friends and relatives. Mr.. Powell,
after passing up Mempnremagos lelko .fnf.
a distance, crossed over the mountain into
the Missisquoi valley and down to the
Sulphur Spring House. He reports that
he saw the names of A. NJ. Ruggles, G. II.
Blake and several other Barton people cut
in the rocks there. The hay crop is
rather poor in that section, but in a radius
of about ten miles there are eight cheese
and butter factories doing good business.
In Shefford and Missisquoi counties the
hay is very light, the grass in the latter
having been nearly all killed out before
the first of July.
In letting the water out of the reservoir
last Tuesday Mr.. Collision found, as he
n
water was escaping through the safety
valve without being filtered. He has now
weighted the cover much heavier than be-
fore and although there has been consid-
cradle amount of rain falling the water is
much clearer than it has been for a long
time, but he expects to have to weight it a lit
tie more yet. The new filter is tWenty-four
feet square and its average height is about
six feet; it contains about twelve thousand
brick and has cost between six and seven
hundred dollars. 1t is we'll made and we
believe will prove very satisfactory.
The ball game between the Lowell team
and the Barton boys resulted in another
victory for the home team. The game up
to the seventh inning a very close one,
the visiting team leading much of the
time, but during that inning seven runs
were made by the Bartons, which won
them the game. Some very good plays
were made by mem bers of both teams, but
more errors were made by the Lowell
boys. The following is the score:
