County OF Cumberland.

There Is a movement on foot to or
ganize a new county out of portions Of
Windham and Windsor counties and give
1t a name this territory anciently BORE
Cumberland county. II is proposed that
the new county shall contain the towns
of Springfield, Ludlow. Plymouth, Cav
endish, Chester and Weston in Windsor
county and Windham, Grafton, Athens.
Rockingham, Westminster and Putney
in Windham county. Rockingham is to
be the county seat of Cumberland county
and this will necessitate the construction
of a new Jail and court house.
This arrangement would greatly ac-
commodate all the towns named. At
present the towns in the north end Of
Windham county have to reach Newfane.
the county seat, by way of Brattleboro
and it takes almost as long to get there
as 1t does TO go to New York. The towns
in the south end of Windsor county have
no less difficulty in reaching the county
seat at Woodstock, having to travel by
way OF Bellows Falls and White River
Junction. Bellows Falls is the trade
centre for all these towns with the ex-
ception OF Putney, where trade goes out
of town and is easy OF access from every
observation-disclosures Falls Times
Why not annex the whole of Windham
county to Bellows Falls and throw in
North Walpole and a few way stations
across the river? The dreaming Of
dreams and the seeing of visions has
come sooner than expected after the in
auguration of high license at Bellows
Falls. Perhaps our contemporary will get
out a colored supplement soon, after the
style of the Memo" pictures in Sunday
papers. 1t would then be necessary, how
ever, to change the name County OF
Cumberland to County of Sunderland. ;"

The story don't tell the first half of the
facts: how much the three paints cost

The laugh was not on the barber. His

voc next time; and next time will come
