Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1910-12-14


Burke, the blind central girl, a poet
of some note, and correspondent of
the Monitor from West Burke. has
written, had arranged and printed
in a very attractive manner, a Christ
mas poem entitled 1.-The Lamp of
Contentment. They will be on sale
at Pierce's.
Among the first calendars for 1911
we have seen distributed are those put
out by the Barton Savings Bank and
designs all of which are very good, but
one contains a revised road map of
Orleans county which should be espe
cially useful. The edition Of these is
very limited.
Thursday, Dec. 8. Miss Ruth Mute
entertained Is friends, the occasion

All enjoyed an oyster supper very
tastefully arranged by Mrs. Mute and

as remembrances of the day.

pany have special large Christmas ad-
vertisements in this issue which you
are invited to read. Suggestions will
also be found in the regular place of
the G. H. Davis Company,J. F. Batch
elder, G. L. Merriam, H. T. Seaver.
Miss Colburne and others. This is
the time of year when ad reading
pays. 1t always does for that matter.
The dance in Seaver's hall Friday
evening by "The Jolly Six" promises
to eclipse every thing in the line of
dances ever attempted in Barton. A
large attendance is assured. One of
the best advertising features they
have displayed large placard with
the date and other particulars regard
ing the entertainment. hand lettered,
and drawing of six jolly girls. The
work is that of the local artist, O. A.
Lyon.
/ At the regular meeting of Crystal
! Lake camp, M. w. of A., in Woodman
hall last evening the following officers
were elected for the year ensuing: A.
! r. Wakeman, consul; F. w. Comstock,
advisor; F. S. Whitcher, banker; LIN.
Hubbard. clerk Mr.. Rook, escort !;
! Harry Williamson, watchman; H. L.
! Doyle, sentry H. T. Seaver, manager !;
F. R. Hastings, physician. There was
good attendance and meeting will
/ be held in January.
! A stroll about town will convince
/ anyone that theBarton merchants have
never made such a display Of holiday
goods before and have never put the
work into decorations and special
Christma as dress for their windows that
/ is shown on every hand this season.
There are several remarkably pretty
w indows, among them being Lang's,
! Jenness', Batchelder's and Davis Com
pany's down street and the Barron
/ Company and George Merriam up town.
The milliners, of course, have their usu-
al pretty trimmings too. Taken all in
all probably the average eye will be
attracted by the Lang and Jenness
windows first, owing to the fact possl-
bly, that their line of goods is better
adapted to pretty display. The town
! is one Christmas mart from end to end
and the merchants deserve and will
undoubtedly get large holiday trade.
The Monitor bespeaks it for them and
invites it's readers to look over tn cir
{. advertising.
