The entire circulation of books from the
Kimball Public library in Randolph and
Randolph Center has been 1897 for the p
library days in July, an average OF about
81 per day, which would seem to make il
mathematically certain that the reading
public is not slow to take advantage OF the
exceptional opportunities so generously
provided in the new library.
A pleasant informal gathering of the
teachers attending the summer school
here was, very appropriately, in the nature
of a Book party at the Cong1 vestries
Tuesday evening. Those attending were
dressed to represent the title OF some book,
affording the ladies an opportunity for
more profitable study OF each others attire
than is commonly INDUCED. Charades
and picture cards, illustrating titles, fur
Their tested the guessing powers and liter
airy knowledge OF the guests, who num-
bered about fifty, and spent a most enjoy
able evening. Lemon sherbet and cake
were served for refreshments.
The village trustees, at their meeting
Monday evening, considered the report OF
the State Board OF Health and placed il on
file. They constituted themselves a COM
mittee to borrow the money under the
terms of the vote, il possible, so as to 90
ahead with the work. The rate OF interest
fixed by the vote was 81 per cent, and at
that time the money could have been Sc
cured on those terms, but since then the
money market has frightened so that il is
doubtful IL il can now be had. II not it
will neeessitate another village meeting to
change the rate Of interest or else a post
ponement OF the whole project for another
year.
Albert Martell and Mabel, daughter OF
B. A. Drake, were married at the brides !
home on Weston street yesterday morn |
ing at 1880 by the Rev. f. G. Rainey, |
pastor Of the Methodist church. The |
brides gown was a very pretty cream |
colored, silk-striped albatross, trimmed |
with embroidered chiffon and white lib |
erty ribbon, and she carried white car
nations. Lunch was served and the |
young couple left on the afternoon ex- |
for lol~a har f.A
spend ten days with the brides father, B. |
A. Drake, her aunt, Mrs. Ida Drake, and /
Miss Vanlora Spear. On their return Mr.. /
and Mrs. Martell will make their home 4
with Mr.. Drake until they can have the /
tenement in the Gabrielle house on |
Weston street, soon to be vacated by An
son Burroughs.
Ernest E. Fish was in Boston and /
Dorchester, Mass, last week from Thurs 1
day until Saturday, looking up business
openings, but, not finding anything just |
to his mind, returned to Vermont to pur-
chase a half interest in hardware store
in Richmond, to which he goes to take
possession today. His partner is j. o.
0lmstead, who has been at Richmond for
four years, and the business is hardware,
plumbing and tinsmithing, in which Mr..
Fish has become adept through his twelve
years connection with the store of j. ii.
Lamson. His house on Highland avenue
he has sold TO Mrs. G.. o. Howe for y. 500,
but his family will continue to occupy il
for awhile yet until a suitable house can
be found in Richmond. Mr.. Fish is one
Of the industrious, reliable citizens whom
is not anxious to lose and for
the three years previous to the last cleo
ton, when he refused to take the office
again, served as chief of the village fire
department. That success and prosperity
may attend him in his new venture is the
wish of his old friends and associates.
