THE LADIES AID HILL.


The new hall in this place is
nearly completed For nearly a
dozen years the Ladies Aid society
has bad this object in view. While
they have donated money freely to
other causes their leading idea has
been to build a hall in West New
bury.
About year ago the way APP
peared to be opened for them to do
50. Mr.. E. E. Putnam offered to
donate all the timber and boards
necessary for a hall delivered on
the spot selected, which proved to
be lot given by j. B. c. Tyler on
the opposite side of the road and
directly in front of the Union meet
ing house. A committee consisting
of E. E. Putnam, M. L. Brock and
j. p. Spear was elected and a plan
adopted by the ladies. Early in
September last the site was pre-
pared and the building begun un-
der the charge of N. w. Cunning
ham of Bradford. The building is
two stories high. The lower one,
nine feet hich, contains the wood
room, furnace room, a dining hall
twenty feet square, a kitchen ten
by twenty, and a ladies' parlor
fourteen by eighteen. The three
latter rooms have hardwood floors
and are sheathed and the ceiling is
of southern pine. The upper story
is about fifteen feet in height and
contains the hall, which is forty-six
feet in length and thirty-two wide,
with a stage across one end, and
stairs leading down to the dining
room. The hall is sheathed about
four feet high with southern pine,
and the rest of the walls and cell
ing is steel of a handsome design,
painted in colors. The vestibule
on either side of the en-
trance a cloak room and an office
room. The size of the building is
iifty-two by thirty-two. The doors
and castings are Of redwood. A
of citizens have contribut-
ed labor, and many all over town
and quite a few in Bradford have
given money to help the ladies in
heir worthy work. When the hall
S ready for occupancy the ladies
are planning a grand dedication
opening which besides the literary
east, will include a supper and
