M. M. Taplin goes tomorrow to
Lincoln, N. H.. to Sell at auction l25
horses. We doubt if any other man In
Vermont has sold as many horses this
spring as Mr.. Taplin.
Prof. l.. J. Harrington, who con-
Quoted successful series of singing
schools here and at other places in
the county last winter was here Friday
to arrange for another singing school
to continue eight weeks.
O. B. Dodge and Mrs. F. NJ. All
church returned home from Montreal
last week. leaving Mrs. Dodge appar-
emily doing as well as could be expect
ed after her operation. Mrs. All
church will return to Montreal this
week and expects to stay with her
mother until she is able to return.
! Some of the fishermen who welded
the rod Friday were as follows A. o.
Austin, G. L. Shaeffer, Wilder Joslyn,
w. E. Sawyer. F. C. Stoddard, Ed
Carter, DR.. E. G. Stevens, w. R. AL
drich, Ed. and John Cotton, and some
others who failed to report. 1t is
stated that they got good catch (cold)
both at the Vail pond in Sutton and at
May pond at Barton and other points.
The parks of the village are looking
beautiful. Mr.. Drake rolled them
with a heavy roller last week. and has
improved them, and the grass and trees
about them, especially the one south of
the station and the one near the
church. are looking fine. Congratula-
tions to the Village Improvement
society.
The.value of advertising was clear
ly demonstrated last week when the
Monitor printed an advertisement for
Taplin & Rowell which read that a
certain sale would take place May 10
instead of May l. Now May 10 falls
on Sunday and certain Irasburg man
whose religion would not admit of at
tending an auction on Sunday came
over and bought horse at a private
sale Immediately after reading the ad-
vertisement.
There came near being a serious mix
up of teams near John Dodge's re-
Gently. Trips livery team with
travelling man was driving towards
r Irasburg when the wagon dropped into
a mud hole and the axle struck small
stump, and Tripp and his man stopped
short and watched the horses go on
down the road till they were mired in a
mud hole. Tripp thinks Irasburg
n should clear the roads of stumps be-
: fore building any more permanent
road.
S E. E. Doe is having the roof of the
S veneer mill raised so the elevator can
be run up to the attic, as he has found
he can secure orders for different kind
: of.work than was at first anticipated
and which requires this change. Mr.
Doe was in Boston last week and or
|. dered more machinery for the veneer
: mill. and expects in the near future tC
employ women and boys in this factory
in light work. H. B. Moulton is still
in the west securing orders The mill
which makes piano backs, bridges and
keyboards started UP to-day, and it is
S expected that there will be sufficient
!. amount of orders to commence making
boards soon.
