Saturday was joyous day to the small
boy and man with sporting tendencies as
! il brought two football games. In the
morning the Bethel Kid team defeated the
! Randolph Kid team by a score of % to 0.
In the afternoon the Bethel town team
was defeated by the North Barre team by
a score of IS to O. This last game was
played in the rain and the Bethel boys put
up good game of which their supporters
were in no wise ashamed, but they were
simply outclassed. Their opponents played
a clean, gentlemaDly game with no slug
cling or mouthy talk. The Barre boys were
as team considerably heavier and older
and It probably was a good training for
Bethel to run up against such team. For
/ Bethel good plays were made by Water
man, Kimball, Huber and Whitaker.

tie Cutters Monthly, published at Wash
/ ington. ID. c., in the October NUMBER
1.-The granite work so far contracted for
the Cleveland postoifiee job is from the
new white granite quarry in Bethel, VT.
The stock is nearer white than the average
run of white marble and in time will be an
| important addition to the light-colored
output of granite" Recent developments
in the Bethel granite situation include the
purchase BY T.. b. Ellis OF the granite
quarry on the Alonzo Woodwork farm.
| This quarry has not been worked much
for several years. II is of the darker vari-
ETY., OF fine grain, and lays very conven-
| iently for quarrying in large blocks. Mr..
| Ellis bought OF Mrs. Ellen Woodwork,
Charles Waterman and Mrs. King, who
retain the land and only sell the granite.
