Two fires, burglary and robbery in
town this week, We have plenty of
healthy excitement in the progress of le-
gitimate enterprises under way without
resorting to the sensational
Excellent progress is being made in
the erection of the shirt factory. The
framework is all up, the window frames
are being put in, and the building will
soon be ready for clapboarding. Pres
ent indications point to a more substan-
tial, more convenient and more comfort
able structure, superior in every way to
that destroyed by fire.
The station again caught fire Sunday
morning, from sparks of passing en-
CINE. The fire was making a lively
Roadway in the roof when discovered,
but the hose company were on to their
job and soon extinguished it. That
building certainly seems to have a
charmed existence. 1t will not burn,
although repeatedly it has caught fire
from a similar cause.
The Bartlett Co.'S store was broken
into early Sunday morning. Entrance
was effected at the side, next to the Bos
worth block, by breaking a light of glass
so that the sash fastening could be re-
moved. Seven or eight dollars was
taken from the money drawer, some con
fectionery, cigars and briar pipe, but
strange to say the jewelry department
of Mr.. Pilgrim was not visited, as far az
he can discover. 1t is thought to be the
work of boys, although some people at
tribute it to the men arrested for steal
ing clothing, narrated elsewhere.
Miss Graves, Vermont State Secretar.
of Christian Endeavorers, addressed
good audience of Endeavorers and other
in the Congregational Church Sunda,,
afternoon. She gave glowing descrir
ton of her trip to Denver, Col, and o
the great international gathering of TIN
united society. Miss Graves is a fiuen
speaker, holds the attention of even tn
youngest listener, and interests and help
all classes of hearers. 1t is not ofte
that Island Pond is fortunate to h ca
such speaker and worker. Miss Grave
, has promised to come again at sue
time as her services will be needed
help on the work.
