The /'Cheerful Words" Calendar issued
by the Vermont Printing company has met
with cordial approval, both in Brattleboro
and elsewhere, and the edition Of 400 copies
printed for free distribution has already
been exhausted. In response to a general
demand second edition of 100 copies has
been printed for sale to those who want
extra ones for their friends, and these may
be had at the Office of the company as
long as they last, which will not be very
long. The price at which they are offered
is just what they cost the company to pro-
duce
The calendar is II x IA inches in size, and
consists of l3 sheets of buff cover stock,
each sheet printed in vermilion and black,
bearing sentiment of the kind so popular
in modern business Offices. The first page
is title page and the calendar is called
The Cheerful Words" Calendar, because
the sentiments for each month are selected
because of their optimistic tone and cheer
full spirit. Most of the sentiments are
quoted from the sayings of more or less
famous men. The December sheet bears
verse written by Harry G. Shaw, mem
ber of The Reformer staff:
The sun shines nowhere quite SO bright
As up in Old Vermont;
The snow lies nowhere quite so white
As up in Old Vermont.
When natives time has come to die,
He longs to go back and there to lie,
Close up where the mountains meet the
sky,
In little Old Vermont.
The president of large Boston firm
writes of this calendar: 1--WE have at this
time of year great many calendars, all ex-
cellent, but we have received none which in
excellence of matter, of type and general
appearance, equals that which you have
just sent u.s.
The typography was done in the shop Of
the Vermont Printing company by W. P.
Jones and is equal to the work of any
in the country.

Serious Injury Of Newfane Man.

Bert Davis, formerly of South London
derry, employed by Earl Davis and Harry
Edwards of Newfane, received serious in
juries to his head Wednesday forenoon, be-
ing struck by binding pole on load Of
logs upon which he was riding. 1t is
thought that he has suffered fracture Of
his skull. Mr.. Davis, who has been en-
ployed about the county house, while on
his way to Wardsboro station about ll.3O
Wednesday forenoon, stopped his team to
wait for another teamster to come back to
the foot of hill and assist with an extra
pair of horses. Upon the return of the
man he found Mr.. Davis beside his load of
logs bleeding profusely from his mouth and
ears with bad wound on his head. An
examination showed that in some manner
the chain holding the binding pole had
broken and that evidently the pole had
snapped back with terrific force striking
Mr.. Davis upon the head.
Dr. White of Williamsville was sum-
moned and the injured man was taken to
the county house at Newfane. Mr.. Davis
and his wife have been employed by Jailor
Earl Davis for number of years and both
are well known in the county. The extent
of the mans injuries could not be stated
last night.
