Joseph LaPage of st. Paul, Mimi, was
in town short time to-day. 1t was his

son of the late Joseph LaPage and had
been visiting his mother, who is still
living, in Montreal. From here he went
to Stowe to visit his sister, Mrs. John
Drugg. Joe notes many changes here,
as well as the absence of about all who
were children when he was here.
If this tramp business keeps on and
people do not turn from the error of ;
their ways, Lamoille county will have to
have new Jail. We don't know but it
should, anyway. The last grand jury
had serious contemplation about recon-
mending new one, but finally did not.
An inspection of the building will con-
vince anybody that the accommodations
are inadequate and, while considerable
improvement has been made in the sani-
tary condition within the past few years,
the building is still far from being per-
feet in that respect.
The spirit of improvement and "fixing
up" is quite prevalent. Among those
thus afflicted are Raymond Vaughn, who
is giving his residence on McDaniels
Avenue a general repairing; Perry Fos-
ter on Eden Street, who is having his
house extensively repaired and painted
on the exterior; Ferd Gauthier. who has
built an attractive veranda on the south
side of his house, and the Mrs. H. Lilley
house on the corner of Main and Church
Streets is in the hands of the painters.
Others no doubt will follow in the line
of the good example set by these.
The first base ball game of the season
was played here on Monday last, at
which time johnson met the L. G. A.
Both sides put up a good fight, but
errors the home team was de-
feated by score of 8 to 4. The L. G.
AS. have not played any games this sea-
son and this being their first they are en-
titled to considerable credit when it is
that johnson has played
two or three games previous to this. A
bevy of handsome young ladies from
johnson, chaperoned by Dan Scott, were
on hand and added much to the interest
and attraction of the game by their en-
"rooting for their boys.
Amos Davis, who drives one of the
school teams has come out with bran
new carryall. 1t is modern and as Amos
says, "up-to-date." 1t bears a strong
to Boston taxicab and
Amos is justly proud of it. He calls it
the Mayflower," because it blossomed
out in May. Josiah Perry, better known
as " Si,' is the driver of another school
team, the Pathfinder" which shows
hard service, having been in use long
time. 1t is to be rebuilt at an early day,
and 'Si' says he will look just as hand-r
some as Amos and mot half try" The
third team, the ''Overland," is driven by
David Trudo, whose reputation as a
skillful and safe driver is well-known
