Westminster. G. A. Best was the re.
cipient of nice present in the shape
of barrel of flour, an annual remem-
brance from the same source which
has not failed him for several years.
The stores were supplied with
Christmas gifts, Postmaster Grout
displayed a tastefully arranged win
dow with background of Christmas
greens, and Merchant Batchelder had
an unusual array of China wares.
At the express Office there rained a
collection of boxes and paper bound
packages which, being transported by
hand and sled to various homes,
brought forth happy remembrances
of the day from many who had gone
out from the old home, and Uncle Sam
came in we'll loaded with cheering
messages for the holiday season.
