The Baptist society very much re-
greet the decision of Rev. Thomas
Gull to remain with his present charge
in PawIet. Mr.. Gull felt that perhaps
duty called him to the church here,
but the great desire of his church in
Pawlet to have him remain with
them led him to feel that he had best
not make the change.

wife by Miss Evangeline Wallace,
director of the kindergarten depart
ment of the Chicago Piano College,
assisted by Marion Cornell, teacher

wishing to learn, as she is a. very
superior teacher.

IA weeks term. The pupil having no

silla Waterman. f. Howard Water
man was absent only one day and
had no tardy marks. Carroll Sargent

Two parties from town made the
ascent of Mt. Mansfield last week.
One party of six going Wednesday
and returning Thursday. The other
party of sixteen going Friday and
returning Saturday. They report a
very fine trip, the weather being fav-
orable they were able to see the sun
rise from the Nose, after which they
went out upon the chin and visited
the cave and all the other points of
interest. A jaunt to the highest
mountain in our State is an outing
by no means to be despised. One
may go much farther many times
and fail of finding so much to interest.
The concrete men have done good
job on the sidewalks so far. The
walks begin at the bridge on Main
st. and are complete to DIR. Prentiss'
with the exception of hotel, which has
good plank walk. e. E. Holmes
has had good job done in front
of his shop and the selectmen have
had good crossings put in at each
end of the bridge. Although the vii
lage has been much improved and
can compare very favorably with
her neighbors, it is to be regretted
that the money could not be raised
for putting them in ON Railroad st.
There has been some talk of calling
town meeting to see if a small tax
could not be raised for the purpose,
but the majority of the people are
shy of any bigger taxes and it looks
now as though every man must pay
for his own sidewalk If he has any.
