golden hue in the way Of a new coat OF
paint.

The Central Vermont Pomona Grange
had a fine day for their meeting here last
Wednesday. Some one hundred persons
sat down to the dinner provided for them
at the town hall, and half as many more
were thought to have been present In the
afternoon. The gathering was unusually
large. Good music was furnished in con-
nection with discussions, Rotations, etc.
One out of town lady caused not little
merriment, by look backward to the gar
den of Eden, and giving the reason why
| the creation OF woman was necessity. 1t
| was found in the fact that man was such
| lamentable failure. But this was only the
| spice in the feast of the solid things these
| Oranges endeavor to provide for them
| selves.
Everybody about here knows OF Tom
| Sanders, at one time owner of the Gulf
| Springs property He is quite horseman.
| Speaking of certain kim OF housekeeping
horses, he Is reported aa saying. "they go up
| a good ways, are gone a good while, and he
couldn't afford to wait for them"
At the last regular meeting of our Grange
| among other things Postmaster Frank Mar
tin spoke of the benefits OF postal savings
| hon MI nd MO n Hiann IN Of
| resolution "that the tendency OF the times
| is rather for amusement than instruction"
| There were three score members present on
the occasion. The Grange voted to observe
I Children's day on Saturday OF this week.
In the evening OF that date a meeting will
be held and the children will have fine
programme.
Another town meeting relative to the
matter OF locating and building another
| school building in the quarry district has
been warned for Saturday afternoon OF this
| week. The vote at q recent meeting called
for this purpose, to put an addition on to
the present building and on it's present site,
is so unsatisfactory to the district they felt
the matter ought to be recOnsidered. After
the consideration now given the case by our
school board who were appointed by the
town as the building committee, 1t seems as
If the coming meeting OF this week ought
to enable the town to vote intelligently and
wisely, when they shall have heard the ar
| RumbuCB pro anu con III the maUUbT. a Iull
turn out Is desirable.
Last Sunday the delightful weather IA
vored good attendance at the Methodist
church to listen to the Children's Day ex-
ercises, in which thirty or more OF the little
folks took part. Flowers, drapery and
notices about the pulpit and altar served
as an appropriate background for the good
work done by the children, in song, reota-
ton, etc. The collection taken un the oc-
casion was for the cause of education in
connection with the Methodist church at
large. These Children's Day exercises
work Of preparation on the part Of some OF
the older members of the church, but who
, will doubt the great benefit Of them or say
that they do not amply reward the cost OF
them?
! Whatever the soft snaps the public may
think are enjoyed by physicians in their
profession, the latter are surely the victims
OF good deal OF hard swapping, at one
time or another, as we all know. 1t can't
be amiss just now that the attention of oul
: own and other towns citizens, should be
/. called to an extract from chapter 1913, Yer
mont statutes. Sec. 1854. The head OF 9
l family in whose dwelling there occurs 9
a case Of infectious or contagious disease
dangerous to the public health, shall i'm
q mediate.y give notice to the Health officer
physician who knows or suspects that
person to whom he has been called is sick
or has died, OF communicable disease
9 dangerous to the public health, shall al
once report to the Health officer the place
L where such case exists, the name, degree Of
virulence and cause or source Of the dis
r ease. II head OF a family or physician
I fails to give reasonable notice to the healtt
I officer of the existence OF such disease, hi
shall be fined not more than ten dollars fol
each offense. Diseases which should bt
