AT a meeting of the Fessenden
HELPING Hand society last Friday 1t
was decided to disband the organia-
ton because of the lack of interest
shown by the young women on whose
shoulders the support should rlght,,
fully fall. The society was organized
about 20 years ago among the girls OF
the Congregational church, Rec. Z. U.
Day being the prime mover. Inc So
ciety has done excellent work in con
tributing toward the cost OF edueat'
ing needy pupils in various institu-
tions, but the members who were ae-
tive in the organization during its
early life are no longer in a position
to give it their service and II seems
impossible to arouse enthusiasm among
the girls of today.
Some apprehension has been felt

ployes of the local office of his des-
tination and he has not been heard
from since. w. C. Pratt of New YORK,
vice president of the National Light,
Heat & Power company, was in town
last week on his regular auditing trip
and has been in Brattleboro again
this week going carefully over the
accounts of the local division. MI
Pratt finds that the books are IN per
feet condition and has made arrange
mepts to pay the local bills which
have accumulated since Mr.. Bryant s
absence.
