Blake of Island Pond and Leon Ripley

plication to join the Vermont bar.

Halloween night Mrs. Porter II. Dale
very pleasantly entertained a number of
young ladies at her home. The evening
was passed most happily in Halloween
games, music, and toothsome refresh
ments were served, As may well be ex-
pected it was delightful occasion for
guests and hostess alike.
Harry Brown returned home from the
Sherbrooke, (Que.) hospital last Satur-
day. Although very much improved he
is yet unable to stand, as would naturally
be expected after undergoing such a
serious operation. That he may soon
recover full health and strength is the
earnest wish of the whole community.
He has been great sufferer.
John +. Vallee left town Tuesday for
New York city, where he is to take a
special course in obstetrcal work in the
New York City Lying-in Hospital. John
is evidently neglecting no means during
his vacation to make himself proficient.
With the regular medical course he is
taking at the Vermont University, his
experience as druggist, and the addi-
tional special courses he certainly should
be well prepared when he enters upon
his chosen profession, in which John is
very much in earnest.
Common decency should teach some
men, and boys too, to stop that filthy
habit of expectorating tobacco juice
on the sidewalks. There is nothing
ing more unsightly than to see walk,
especially the cement walks, all decora
ted with big blotches of tobacco juice
while it is always disagreeable nuisance
that the ladies have to contend with
What is more disgusting than to see a
fellow expand the hole in his face and
1
eject stream of fluid square on the
public walks or even against buildings
Sanitary reasons alone, to say nothing
of other reasons, should lead to prohi
bition of this dirty habit.
Intelligence was received Wednesda..
/ morning of the death, at Hardwick, o
! Mrs. Dixon, wife of Rev. John A. Dixon

NJ. f. Church, and her remains laid
rest beside those of her mother, VIII
died at Island Pond during Mr.. Dixon
pastorate. To the bereaved husban
