In preparing the high school yard for
the concrete walk, cutting il diagonally,
the street department unearthed cistern
that was once part OF the village fire pro-
lection. This reservoir, 25 feet long, II
feet wide and 1875 feet deep, is a cellar
like excavation in the front of the yard
next to the Methodist church and was
found about half full OF clear cold water.

Mrs. Fannie Howard and Mrs. May
Kicker have decided to sell out or close
out the ladies' furnishing store In the
O'Connor block in which they have been
in partnership since the first Of last De-
cember. This business, which was estab-
Iished by Mrs. Ida Mann, offers a good
opening sor some one who could run q
dressmakefs' shop in connection with 1t.
There Is dearth Of dressmakers in Ran

few that the Miss Flora McFiimsys, who
have nothing to wear, are thrown into
hystsFia at the thought OF an approaching

and Mrs. Kicker does not feel sufficiently
in mercantile affairs to con-
tinue the business alone. Mrs. Howard
is now at A. W. Eastman's in Topsham
on a vacation.
Never, they say, has fishing been bet
ter in Missisquoi bay than this present
season and in support OF the claim Is
quoted the wonderful catch OF DR.. Q. J.
Rumrill and Guy P. Lamson Saturday.
They brought in that day II pickerel,
nine black bass, pike and silver eel
besides hooking quantities of perch and
other less desirable specimens Of brain
food. Most of the ash were caught at
the mouth Of the Missisquoi river, but
the black bass we're landed at the reef,
" here they seldom bite at this time, and
not one was lost that took the hook. Be- [
sides supplying Camp Randolph, the two
anglers brought home about a hundred |
pounds OF pickerel for generous distribu-
lion. Not only is the fishing fine at
Highgate Springs, but the boarding |
house il all that can be desired under the /
