The concert given for the benefit of the
fountain was very good.
il was not a great success,
although S16 was added to the fund,
making the total amount placed in the
bank S130. We are pleased to mention
ID. G. Wild of Brooklyn, n. ", the, donor
of So toward this fund, whose native
town was South Royalton, which is much
appreciated by the ladies who are work
ing hard to accumulate the necessary sum
to complete the erection of a drinking
fountain. VIM. V. Soper is the first pub
lic-spirited man of our village to place IS
in the hands of the treasurer, Mrs. J. H.
Hewitt, for this purpose. 1t is hoped
that others will not be slow to help in
this worthy cause.
