receipt of several rush orders.
E. p Wheeler of this place has just
completed a nice two story house Of
nine rooms on the old common on
Newfane hill for Miss Sage of Ware,
Mass, who will occupy it for summer
home. We learn that there is consid-
cradle inquiry for building lots on the
hill, several persons desiring to erect
buildings there in the near future.
Much stranger things have happened
than that the site of the once most
populous village in Windham county,
after being entirely abandoned for
more than so years, should become the
most populous summer resort in the
county.
1t is a matter of local moment that
the Universalist Junior union of our
village was presented at the recent Ma,
tional Young Peoples Christian union
, annual convention, at Rochester, N Y,
with large ana beautiful banner in
recognition of its work for the past
year. The banner was in competition
among all the Junior unions of the Uni.
versalist churches throughout the
United States, Canada and Japan, and
the Williamsville union having reached
the highest per cent of honor marks
| (94 per cent?, which were based upon
attendance and work, has become its
proud possessor for the ensuing year
This union is perhaps the smallest
| throughout the entire church; among
the Vermont unions it not only stands
first IN the matter of work, but has
also raised the largest per capita taN
On Sunday evening, when the fact was
announced that the banner was theirs
the unioners' faces were wreathed IL
smiles and they sang with will theil
marching song in expression of theil
delight.
