Ba.chelder Moves and Will Hold
Opening.

j. F. Batchelder. clothier, has moved
to his new quarters in his own block
and advertises in another place in this
paper an opening tomorrow and Fri
day. This new store is certainly 0. K.
in every respect and the added room
gives an opportunity for display of
goods to much greater advantage than
the old store. The new place is 70 feet
long and nearly 80 feet wide and con-
tains more than 700 feet of shelf space
and fully 200 feet of drawer room say
ing nothing of two "siIent salesmen."
These statesmen are lighted with a pat
ent concealed electric light arrange
ment that certainly is excellent and
the shade used on regular overhead
lights is something new and up to-the-
minute. This combination of lighting
arrangements gives most pleasing
effect in the evening. There are many
new fixtures, new and larger lines of
goods and everything the gentlemen can
want in their line. The finish in the
store is mostly American quartered
oak. Everything combines here to
make a modern haberdasher' estab-
lish nent.

of this village, snow fell on 18 days of
the month, amounting in depth to five
feet and five inches. On the first of
May the snow lay on the ground, where
there had been none ten DAYS ago. to
the depth of from Is to "a inches;
sleighs were running, and it was
showing with apparently as good
courage as when it began the winters
work on the 7th of last November. On
the hills the new snow was drlfted IN
some places ten feet high. Among
the sad things occasioned by the long
continued storm is the loss of large
numbers of birds from starvation and
cold; they came too early this year.
The snow will help to thaw the
ground, and may be of bepefit to the
grass, but will make late commence
ment of springs work 1t will soon be
easy to determine what to do with the
surplus hay that was supposed to be

NOTE. The month of April this
year has been very cold and with con-
siderable storm, and the sugar crop in
this Immediate vicinity has been rath-
er light. On Friday. the 30th. about
two to three inches of snow fell, fol-
lowed by light rain.

GOOD ROAD PROBLEM.
Article of Importance to Automobiles
and Everyone in Orleans County
Who Believes Good Roads a
Valuable AS set

This has been the shibboleth of many.
of our politicians to juggle with, but
it has at last become powerful factor
in the progress of the day, and it is
related in some phase to nearly every
economical problem of both rural and
urban life.
The event of the bicycle at. first
opened up the question, but the coming
of the automobile gave much great
er impetus to the demand for the good
roads movement; but other interests
that are far more vital and effective in
bringing about the intelligent begin
ming of the construction of permanent
and good country roads are the chang
es in the viewpoint of farmers. They
more or less antagonistic to power ve-
hicles, although they are coming to
see and realize that this innovation is
a practical and needful one, and they
are getting in line to avail themselves
of all the benefit that may accrue from
them, in their influence upon the
"good roads" movement, very SEN
sible conclusion and this leads US to
observe that our farmers can always
be depended upon to do the fair thing,
regarding any public movement, when
they fully understand it. as they we'll
know that what is for the general good
is to benefit them the most of any ell
ement in the country, because they
are in fact the founda tion of it, there.
fore they are interested in "good
roads," not for the bicycle OR the pow
er VEHICLE, but as an economy for
themselves, for example: the firm,
we'll built, graveIed highway makes II
possible for the farmer to draw double
the load to the railroad station, and
from the station to his farm, that he
could on the old loan roads and the
