Our New Years Paper.

Our local merchants have generously
helped us fill our columns the past month
and have given our readers many attract
i've bargains. This week our patrons are
greatly favored with two special articles,
aside from the regular local, county and
state news. The article on "The Snow
Angel is of special local interest as the
sculptor, Larkin G. Mead, afterwards
made the statue America" on our Sol,
diers Monument. The cut which accom-
panies the article was kindly loaned by
the Springfield Republican. The letter
by Henry L, Clapp of Malta is full OF
"reminiscences of his recent visit to his
native land, and is one of the most inter
esting letters that ever came from his
pen. His closing words attest his 10y
atty to his country, though no proof was
ever necessary.

At the First Baptist Church.

One young man, member of the senior
class of the Academy, and three young
ladies were baptized at the First Baptist
church last Sunday evening. The service
was very pleasant and impressive. At
the reorganization of the Bible school
the following officers were elected Super
intendent, Charles A. Chadbourne; as
sistant superintendent, John w. Harvey;
secretary, Isabel Henderson; treasurer,
Alice G. Clark; librarian, Fred w.
Knowlton; organist, Nellie G, Smith. In
1901 the school contributed for different
benevolences about $25.
At the annual church meeting last Fri
day evening Dea. L. S. Hooker was re-
elected deacon for four years. The sta
tlstical report shows the net gain of
membership for the year to be eight;
present number, 113. The treasurer's
report on benevolences showed that
about $75 had been given for said OBJ
jects in 1901. The annual secular busi-
ness meeting OF the church will occur
next Friday evening at 7.30.

Meeting of Round Table.

The members of the Round Table of the
South church enjoyed very interesting
talk by Major N. P. Bowman, Monday
evening at the church parlors. The Ma
jor's theme was his belief in an overrul-
ing providence and in Illustration OF it he
related two incidents which occurred
while he was U. S. A. paymaster, sta
toned in North Carolina. On these oc-
casions he was kept out of danger by
apparently trivial occurrences, and he
has always believed that it was the hand
OF providence that directed them. The
stories were told in Major Bowman's
usual attractive manner and were much
enjoyed.

Basket Ball.

A lively interest is being manifested in
basket ball this winter, and the schedule,
as arranged by Manager Pearl is by far
the largest and most interesting ever
attempted by an Academy team. 1t in
cludesg games with some of the best teams
in Vermont, and will be published later
in full. AS for the team ITSELF it is COM
posed of players who have worked to-
gether for a number of years, and its
past record is something to be proud of.
Last year the team stood second among
the preparatory schools of the state, the
Edmunds High School of Burlington
ranking first. This year but two games
have been played as vet, one with Brad
ford High School, resulting in a score OF
20-S in favor of st J. A., the other with
Dartmouth Varsity. In the game with
Dartmouth the Academy put up a very
scrappy game, and managed to score
twice on the college team. OF course
they were defeated by large score, but
still by a smaller score than that made
last year by Dartmouth against TUFTS or
U. V. M.
The next game is with Thetford Acade-
my, on Friday evening next, and prom.
ises to be one of lively interest, as Thet,
ford has a very strong team this year
While this school has never tried con.
clusions with st. J, A., in basket ball, it
will be remembered that the Thetford
football team gave St. Johnsbury the
hardest game Of the season with the ex
ception of Montpelier.
