Mr.. and Mrs. H B. Orcutt are
back from Springfield, Mass, for
week to arrange affairs before they
move to that place where Mr.. Or.
cutt has position in the Knox Auto
mobile factory. We are sorry to have
them go away as they have made
many friends here who wish them pros
perity in their new home.
Already granite is being worked in
the new granite sheds, and a supply
of excellent stone from the Barnard
quarry is forthcoming. We learn that
quality of granite much darker has
been discovered still nearer the VIII

extensive. If this proves what it ap.
pears to be now it will find ready sale

The G. H. Davis Company's special
Monday sales are quite drawing
card for that store and the Monitor
believes is a drawing card of more
than usual merit. In some towns in
the state all the merchants have spe-
cial sales on certain day of each week
and announce it. in their ADVERTISE
ments each week as the Davis com
pany is doing. This proves a decided
drawing card :or the outlying trade
to come to town on that day. In an
other town the merchants association
has contracted for page in the local
paper each week for a year and all
the business places in town advertise
special sale of some goods one
day each week.
There was considerable excitement
during runaway Tuesday morning.
The circumstances are as follows
Frank Shorey came to the village
with Charles Lahue and carried him
to the tub factory where he works
Mr.. Shorey then drove back down
main street until he got to the road
which leads from Barron's store down
water street. Here the horse decid
ed he would take that road instead
of keeping down main street, Mr..
Shorey succeeded in heading him away
from the hill road, when he began
kicking and the sleigh was turned
sufficiently to throw Mr.. Shorey out.
The horse then ran into F. w. Com
stocks yard. went over the flower
bed straight for the front door on the
! piazza, pushing his head through the
glass of the door, while the Comstock
