izens Hope for Big Boom
In Little Village

After litigation in the courts ex.
tending over a period of three years,
vacation of streets in Cochran's addi-
ton to the town of Dixie has been set
tied in an amicable way and for a
while, at least, the little agricultural
town has given up hopes of becoming
a metropolis.
Some years ago, Coc:lran's addition
was laid out and certain streets dedi-
Gated. The addition contained "a
blocks. The lots did not sell readily
and the entire tract with the exception
Of few lots was sold to Paul Thon-
ney. The addition contained some
thing like 40 acres. Thonney be-
iieved the land more valuable for agri-
cultural purposes than for business
and residence lots. He says he was
under the impression the addition had
not been plated when he purchased
it. This caused a lawsuit which went
to the supreme court Main street,
in the original town was fenced and
one c. S. Thomas who lived on the
street was cut off from the town. 1t
was necessary for him to go through
gate to get away from his home.
The Thomas property is located at the
corner of Main and Aldrich streets.
Thonney strung a fence across Aid
ricn street shutting of Thomas exit
on that street
Opens Street Further.
With the new ARRANGEMENT Main
street will be open from the boundary
of the original town to Holmes street
1t will then give Thomas an outlet
to the town. AS Aldrich. street has
been vacated, Mr.. Thomas will secure
one half of the street along his prop
erty.
Soon an oil company will bore for
oil and natural gas. Indications point
to discovery Of oil and natural gas
in large quantities. Should they be
discovered. the little town will partly
realize the dreams of it's early settle
ment. 1t will probably be necessary
to again resurrect Cochran's addition
and rededicate the streets which have
just been closed.
Population Is $50.
The town has a population of 25O
inhabitants There are three churches,
hotel and several stores. There is
scarcely any room for the town to-
build in the opposite direction from

A Public Library.

The Village Improvement society
has determined TO establish a free
public library IN Montpelier, and
with that object in view commit
tee of ladies from the society will
make canvas Of the city in few
days, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the umber of volumes that our
citizens will donate. They want
standard works of fiction, history,
poetical works, reference books,
magazines and other periodicals.
The committee should meet with q
hearty response from our citizens,
as there IS hardly family in town
that cannO: afford to donate some
good book or magazine to the
library. After the canvas has been
made the society will add TO the list
by purchasing quite a number OF
books.
The library will be established in
the second story of the new FIRST
National bank building, most con-
venient location for all who will
patronize il. No rules have yet
been formulated by the society re-
garding the management OF the
library as the matter was only re.
Gently taken up. but the rules will
be such as generally govern free
public libraries.
The ladies are hopeful that the
library will grow so rapidly in the
number of books and that II viii
become SO freely patronized thai
they will soon be compelled To seel
larger quarters. If the soliciting
committee overlooks any one, who
may wish to donate books or money
for the purchase of same, they car
leave their donations At either f. u
IStewart's store or at the Bnrgoyn.
Mercantile Co.'S store.
| The society is desirous of having
Everything in readiness to open tn
library as soon as the building n
ready for occupancy.

this year was good. Besides hav-

apples has been sold at $l.35 a box
