AT the special meeting of the La
dies Auxiliary to Heaton hospital,
held Saturday afternoon, it was voted
to hold food fair in Armory hall 1t
is expected this fair will be held the
week beginning January 90 to CON
tinue one week
A Calendar club was formed at this
meeting which it is expected will
prove a noveland easy way to raise
money for the hospital. Mrs. r.. X.
Peck takes the part of the "year'
will keep the books of the club, and
receive the money collected by the
thirteen months. Each one of these
months will invite four other ladies
to act as her weeks, and will receive
the money collected by these weeks
from the days. Each week invites
seven ladies or gentlemen to act as her
days. These days pay the week to
whom they belong ten cents each
month, or the whole sum may be paid
at one time Each week is respons-
ible for collecting the money from her
seven days, each month being respon-
sible for the collection of her four
weeks and the year receives the mon
ey collected by the months
Twelve months volunteered their
services at the meeting Saturday, and
severn weeks and days are already
promi ed. 1t is hoped the Calendar
club ay prove a success and that
everyo, g i'll the city having the inter
ests of the hospital at heart may ac-
cept the ladies invitation to become
their weeks or days as the case may
be.
.. 5. McGown, secretary of the st.

WASHINGTON COUNTY COURT.

After calling the docket Monday after
noon Judges Edgerton and Huntley decid-
ed there was not enough business in sight 20
warrant calling Judge Tyler to Nontpeier
and an adjournment was taken to Tues
day, January II. That will be the week
before the January term of Supreme
Court, and it was thought possible that
Judge Munson would be through at St.
Johnsbury by that time, and come here to
close up some unfinished business. The
jurors were discharged for the term and
il does not seem likely that much more
business will be done until the March
term
The bar as n whole did not seem anxious
to 90 on with court work. j. II, enter
made an earnest appeal for a presiding
judge, and for continuance of court uE-
til the docket is in better shape than il is
at present. He believed the court had IA
right to force cases for trial, where they

for the plaintiff. John H Senter for plain

A SHARP DODGE.

The town of Berlin, by Wilbur
Brown, its clerk and treasurer, was
owing M. W. Wheelock bill of some
SIG for record books, etc Mr.. Whee-
lock was somewhat surprised Saturday
to receive notice that George II. Gran
dali, late constable Of Berlin, had trus.
teed the town on account of the non
payment of the so-called special tax
that the town endeavored to "soak"
the residents of ward after the an
neXation of that ward by Montpelier.
There is to be a hearing on this us
tee matter before 5. T.. Kent at the
basement of the White church in West
Berlin Jan IL. 1t is probable that
this will be a test case that may be
finally decided in Supreme court.

A GRAVE CHARGE

George II. Macomber is under ar
rest on the charge of forging his sis
ter's name to five checks on the Mont
pelier Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany, making them payable to him
self.
Three of the checks were for so,
were dated Dec. %, 26 and 27, and
We're cashed by the Flanders Pierce
Company, Stone Brothers and Rivers
Brothers and are now in the posses
sion of Grand Juror Thomas. The
other two checks are for SS and 81
and were cashed by H. c. Holmes
and f. M. Cory respectively.
When the checks were presented at
the bank, the officials at once sus-
pected something was wrong as so
many came in at once and Miss Ma
comber was notified. She said she
had not given her brother any checks
and disclaimed all knowledge of those
presented. Complaint was entered to
Grand Juror Thomas, who at once
made out warrant for Macomber' S
arrest on the charge of forgery.
Macomber has been employed at the
farm of A.. N. Stratton and on Tues
day left to spend Christmas with his
sister, so he alleged, but did not re-
turn until Friday afternoon.
Deputy Sheriff Tracy had the war
rant to serve on Macomber and learn
ed that he had hired team and driv-
er at the G. M. Smith livery to take
him to the Stratton farm. When the
officer arrived at the farm on Friday
evening, Macomber had Just finished
milking, When arrested he did not
appear to appreciate the seriousness
of the charge against him nor has II,
since.
He was brought to this city and be
fore the city court where DR.. w. L
Goodale became surety until today fo
his bail which was fixed at $500.
Next morning Macomber again ap
peared in court with j. II. Senter a
counsel. His case was continued 70
one week and Mr.. Senter becam
surety for his bail.
Macomber is naturally a well dis
posed young man but is addicted t
the drink habit and when in liquo
has given his friends much anxiet
and trouble. 1t is believed he neve
would have committed the Grim
with which he is charged when sober
He has time and again tried to brea
away from the liquor habit but hi
strength of will lessened with eac
failure.
His sister has been loyal to him i
all his troubles and has the sympath
of the community in her efforts to al
him.
