buttons turkey was the center of at
traction early Tuesday evening, when the

weighed and who would be his owner.

Mr.. Lsvalley withdrew his claim and
the small lady got the bird. The exact
weight of the turkey was fifteen pounds,
fourteen ounces. button left the cage in
the window, and then the guessing WAS
what he would catch next TO put in it.
Although the first number of the Cen
fury Club course is to be given Tuesday,
Dec. LIST, there is a number of first class
seats left. Music lovers with taste will
greatly appreciate Victor's Royal Vene
tian band, as they have pleased discrim-
mating audiences many times in this
country as well as abroad. The excel

vouched for by the Rev. o. s. Gray,
now well know here for his good work in

have the assistance of strong vocal So

Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Lawrence moved
into their fine new apartments in the
Gee building on Main street, recently
| purchased by them. For years the upper
part of this building had been used Tor
all assembly room or a dance hall. Now
! veritable transformation has taken
| place, and the result is fine suite, com
modious and sunny. A broad porch ex
tends along the whole south side of the
building on the second floor which is en-
closed by lattice work on the street level.
Modern improvements, including electric
| lights and a large bathroom, have been
installed. Six rooms and the bath form
the suite the parlor being made into two
compartments by an ornamental grill
work. From the rear rooms can be seen
IA fine view of the river.
A large and appreciative audience at
the town hall on Tuesday evening was
delighted with the clever rendition of
the comedy drama "a Scrap of Paper,
which was given for the benefit of St.
Stephens church by the best amateur
| talent in the town, and this mea a great
deal. AS every body here knows, Mid
dlebury is blessed with an unusual
amount of amateur talent of high
order, and the parts of this play We're
taken in such a finished manner as to
bring out great applause, as the comedy
progressed. 1t would take considerable
space to do justice to the actors; suffice
it to state that never was a similar pro-
duction eXcelled here or in many larger
centers. The musical numbers We're rem
dered with the usual skill of the mem
beers of the Fortnightly club; while the
ladies of the parish showed dainty ar.
! tices, also dispensed home made cooking
and fancy articles suitable for gifts.
The whole affair was success, and "a
substantial sum was realized.
