Fuller and Farr will cater for the |
annual banquet of the High school |
alumni, which occurs June 81. Both |
the dance and the refreshments are |
to be in Union hall, and it is probable !
this will be the last time that hall !
will be used. Mrs. King expects to
begin soon upon the changes contem
plated to fit the building for the &C.
cupation by the Masonic bodies.
A residence for the family of Fred
L. Thompson will be erected at once
a short distance south of his fathers
on the south terrace. The plans are
for one of the most complete dwellings
of the place. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson
have rented a tenement on Hapgood
street in A. N. SWANS house. in which
they viii live until their house is com
pleted.
The young ladies of the Mt. Kilburn
Junior auxiliary will hold a "sunbon-
net sale" in the vestry of the Con
gregational church next week Friday
evening, June IA, at which time they
will offer for sale sunbOnnets, plain
and fancy, shade hats, piazza and ham
mock cushions, and many other arti-
cles especially appropriate to the COM
ing season. Light refreshments will
be served.
The dedication exercises of the new
soldiers monument in Oak Hill Gene
terry on Decoration day were of a very
interesting nature, well fitting the
celebration of the success of the ladies
of the WOman's Relief corps in at last
having a monument of which no one
can be ashamed. 1t stands upon the
soldiers lot, which is located nearly
in the centre of the cemetery and in
a very conspicuous place.
Judge L. NJ. Read, accompanied by
his daughter, Mary, went two weeks
ago to San Francisco via the North
ern Pacific route, where he has this
week been in attendance upon the Ma
tional convention of railroad commits
sioners of the different states. He
will return via some other route, stop
ping at various points along the line.
He expects to be absent over four
weeks, from the time he left.
The management of the electric road
are putting on a series of popular en-
tertainments at their outdoor theatre
at BARRIERS park, and they are well
patronizcd this warm weather. A
vaudeville company has been there
this week, and for next week they have
engaged a company known as Hum
! q EatOn's TrOubadOurs." SaXtOns
River people come down to the park
evenings in great numbers, so that in
addition to what go from this way the
| road gets a good patronage.
Sine the regular meet of the c. v.
| l. A. A. at Claremont, interest in ath
| letics has been exhibited more locally
| than formerly. AS one result the
| young athletes living on the Old Ter
| race recently challenged the athletes
| of Gagevile. The resulting meet of
| the contending forces was held on the
school grounds at Gageville at 10. a. m
Decoration day. The result was a vic
| tory for Gageville they scoring 50
| points to the Old Terrace boys As
| points.
The assurances paid on account of
| the fire two weeks ago in the Allbee
plumbing store aggregated about
$1O50 divided $3.50 on building and
| $500 on the stock. On the fire in the
shed near the Times building a week
ago Sunday evening, the amount paid
was S25. The fire of Wednesday
evening in the Cox woodworking shop
made the third alarm which is always
expected by the firemen so they say
| they are through for a time in all
| probability.
The street sprinkling system of the
| village seems to be wellorganized,
and thus far the streets have been
| kept in excellent condition in accord
with the vote of the corporation a few
weeks ago. The bailiffs bought at
once three large watering carts of the
| most approved pattern, and a heavy
| pair of horses for one of them. The
| other two are run by teams of l.. c.
| Lowell. and the streets are all being
| kept we'll wet down to the delight of
the residents.
The drive of logs of the Connect
| cut River Manufacturing company be-
| gan passing over the dam and falls
| Monday morning. The condition of
the water is such that much greater
progress has been made thus far than
! usual. Most of the logs are in the
boom here and arriving rapidly, the
rear of the drive today being at White
River Junction, or in Hartland. The
company is employing all the men OBJ
tainable in order to rush them through
| while the water remains high, and
expect to get the last away from here
within two weeks, which is an unequal
ed record.
The graduating class of the High
school, at a business meeting held
| Wednesday, chose the rose as it's class
flower. AS the class cOlOrs have for
| several years been scarlet and white,
roses of the same hue will lend them
selves very readily to decorative pur-
poses. At the same meeting it was
voted that the class motto be in Latin.
The motto has not been selected.
| Committees have been chosen this
week for commencement, which oc-
| ours during the week of June 1923.
The baccalaureate will be given Sun
day. June 16, by Superintendent E. w.
Lord, graduating exercises will be held
| Thursday. June 20. and reunion and
banquet of alumni, Friday, June 81.
The meeting called by members of
the board of seleCtmen to see what
the town wished to do regarding a
proper observance of Old Home week
met at banquet hall Monday evening
The attendance was very small show
ing that our people had as yet not
enthused greatly over the project
The meeting was called to order by
G. H. Williams, and after some dis
cussion it was voted that the chair
appoint a nominating committee OF
two to present the names of a suitable
committee in whose charge all ar
rangements and plans should be left
The nominating committee consisted
