A subtitle has been added to this maya
zine, which is very appropriate, namely,
"a Monthly Magazine OF Things Worth
Knowing" The season is manifested BY

donna of the Chair. The late elections,
coal strike and other timely topics are dis
cussed in Highways and Byways." .Civ-
ic Progress" considers the country church
and the federation OF rural social forces.
These deserve a careful reading. "Home
Problems from a New Standpoint" takes
up the subject OF "More Life for Man.
There are five stories that are true, showing
Heroic Living" One is the prize story
of the month. 1.-THE Magi and their
Quest" is by Gabrielle Marie Jacobs. IL is
illustrated from famous paintings.

Not since the collapse Of the lana

the immediate effect has been TO in

Real Estate.

Mrs. Evaline Congdon has sold her farm,
including 100 acres OF leased land, making
in all about $50 acres, to James S. William
son Of Stockbridge for the low sum Of 500.
Thirty years ago, in 1872, Nathan b.
Congdon came from Rutland and paid
John Barrows for these same premises
$500. He was called good farmer kept
a large stock of cattle, sheep and horses,
cut at one time a hundred tons Of hay,
raising acres OF oats and potatoes, making
the best OF butter and cheese. For % years
Mr.. Congdon worked, trying TO leave this
property worth somewhere near its cost,
but i'll health caused him to allow the
buildings and fences to run down, making
general decrease in value of the whole
estate.
Five years ago, at Mr. Congdon's decease,
the farm was set off by commissioners to
his widow for the homestead of $500. This
is low figure for such large farm, but
she has failed TO realize that sum. Hardly
once in life time could young. healthy,
resolute farmer find as good a chance
This farm was in early times the home
of Dea. Elias Smith, q prominent man in
church and town affairs, who brought up
large family here, making money, doing
80 wholly from the products raised on
these acres.

ing out OF this dread disease near the East
village. Two deaths are reported and
Others are dangerously i'll. School has
been closed, houses quarantined, socals
forbidden and church not opened for re-
ligiOus service
Our health officer, DIR. II. V. Hubbard.

prevent its spread and stamp out this
dreadful scourge. He closed the doors of
our town hall, which was opened for a
church social, where some from East Bar
nard were expected.

The experience OF past years has been a
fearful lesson.
The ravages Of diphtheria in 1863 and '6l

have somewhat dulled the pain vet the
dear faces who gave up their young lives
