1t is c1earing-up time in Doe Bros.
store and to boom business a little
during dull time they are making
some very low prices which they tell
you about in their advertisement on
the last page. A 1ady's jacket, this
season style, at a discount of Is per
cent is certainly a bargain and any
! lady who wants a jacket can't afford
to miss it. The only way to take ad-
vantage of bargain is to get there
before the other person, so don't put
it off but it go at once to Doe Bros.
Not near as many were at he,libra-
ry entertainment Wednesday evening
as there ought to have been, but those
present enjoyed the occasion and
profited from it. The library was
decorated with 81 pictures, each one
representing a book and to the person
who guessed correctly the largest
number of books thus represented a
prize was given. Miss Maude Clarke
guessed 50 and received the prize. To
Mrs. d. S. Conant, Mrs. Spalding,
the librarian, and Miss Chamberlin
much credit is due for arranging the
entertainment.
The 21st birthday of Christian En-
deavor was observed by the Bradford
society Monday evening. About 112
attended the exercises, there being
good delegations present from Pier
mont, Fairlee, East Corinth and West
Newbury. The meeting was led by
Miss Edith Chamberlin. The exer-
cses included song service, prayer
| by Rev. Mr.. Emery of Piermont.
of welcome by Rev. Mr.. Kilbourn,
greetings from Rev. Mr.. Smith of
Piermont, Mr.. Porter of Fairlee, Miss
Hartman of East Corinth and Rev.
Mr.. Atwood of West Newbury and an
address by Rev. George p. Rowell of
East Corinth. After the meeting re-
| freshments were serv- d and pleasant
social hour followed.
AT the regular meeting of the Hose
| Co. Monday evening c. B. Allen re-
! signed as foreman and also as a mem
Der of the company. Following this
| there was quite a discussion, termin-
ating in 10 of 20 members signing
paper rendering their resignation to
| the village trustees to take effect Feb
| 18th, Erwin Cunningham declined to
! sign the paper deeming it best not to.
Tuesday evening a special meeting
of the company was called at which
Henry Allen was elected foreman to
serve until Feb. Is, when it was voted
/ to disband the company. This action
grows out of the recent village meet
! ing at which assistant engineers were
elected not satisfactory to the compa-
ny. The boys claim they were given
a direct slap in the face and are in
| clined to resent it. But, however that
may be, the action of the village
meeting was in parr wrong. The first
assistant engineer, on being elected
declined the office and said he wouldn't
serve anyway. Under this condition
it was boys play to thrust the office
upon him. There was disposition at
the meeting to make sport in filling
several offices. Such is entirely
wrong. No village office is so unim-
portant that it does not demand some
| consideration from the voters when it
/ comes to filling it. Another thing
every voter in the village VIII o can
should attend the village meeting.
/ A good many were absent at the last
one who should have been present.
1t is to be hoped that matters can be
so arranged that if reorganization is
necessary it will be by the members
of the present company. which is IN
a better condition for effective work
than in some time past. Any serious
break now will be much regretted.
Let the matter be arranged in way
satisfactory to all.
