All who are interested in the good work
of generally improving and beautifying
our village are kindly asked to meet Mr..
Allchurch on Thursday at a. m. to help
him seed and roll the railroad bank on
Main street. If the weather is very un-
! faVora bic for the work the same invitation
is extended for Friday. The services of the
gentlemen will be in especial demand on
that day and those who come are requested
to bring hoes and rakes prepared to work.
Contributions of grass seed and phosp nate
will be accepted in place of personal labor.
The railroad officials have kindly complied
with the request OF the Improvement Soci-
ETY. in dumping several carloads of good
soil and leveling off the bank. Two sets OF
steps will be erected at different points
Immediately. In the meantime it Is
earnestly hoped that all citizens will help
the society in their enterprise by keeping
off the bank as much as possible.
IN. Stygles inaugurates his third week
of the season with his big tented amuse-
ment enterprise at Barton Landing on May
23d. The first two weeks of the tour have
thoroughly convinced the public of north
ern Vermont that he is offering genuinely
meritorious entertainment for young and
old and is we'll worth liberal patronage.
You will not be bewildered by three rings
or multitude of features simultaneously
presented to perplex the eye, but real old
time tent show, where you can witness
everything that transpires, laugh at the
clowns, admire the beautiful wild animals,
wonder at the daring of the male and fe-
male athletes, see all the curiosities and
freaks, go home satisfied that your time and
money have been we'll spent. The propri-
etor, Mr.. Z. N. SCygles, is well-known
and successful merchant OF Cam bridge,
and he is to be congratulated on the sue
cess of his venture into the amusement
field. Those who attended the Orleans
County Fair last fall will remember Mr..
Styles show there.
The exhibit of drawing and nature study
work at the school building last Tuesday
was very we'll attended, there being over
$50 visitors registered, and we venture to
, say that many of the visitors were, as
3 indeed we were, surprised to see the
/ excellent work done in this line. LII
reflects great credit on the supervisor, Miss
] | Waite, as well as upon the other teachers
= and pupils, and goes to prove what we
t have known before, that our schools are
h. doing most excellent work. The progress
e made in drawing in the one year is, we
= believe, remarkable, and when our pupils
: have had the work for the full term Of
: years covered by the grades, we may ex'
IS pect work which would be credit to any
school. The progress made in music Ii
y also great and the parents will have al
II opportunity to judge of that at the enter
l. tainment May 81. If the parents anc
d patrons of the school would visit th
e schools more they would be very pleased
lie with the work done from the first grad
g to the senior class of the academy, and no
1t only would it do the parents good, but tn
,e pupils as we'll.
