tional people next Sunday, anc

church both morning and evening
One day last week Mr.. F. L
Kimball sold 81 horses at auction
at North Adams, Mass, in one
hour and three quarters, amount
of sale $13,50O. 1t is quite evident
that the automobile has not knock
ed the horse or the horse bust
ness out just yet.
Hon. Horace w. Bailey was il
town the first of the week, anC
that reminds us. We ran across
the other day one of his an
nouncement circulars which her
aided his going into business in
Newbury in 1881, and altho Edi-
tor Parker printed the whole Of
this speciman of the artful adver-
tiser thirty years ago, we will
only ask him to reprint today the
opening and closing sentences, as
it may be interesting reading for
our U. S. Marshal, as he sits in
land, and it may remind him, as
it does the writer, that thirty
years of the sands of his life have
run out, but it only seems but
yesterday when we read, Gone to
Beanfield, Bailey and Company.
We have got to sell our goods,
and got to sell them at an ad-
vance from cost, or go up" He
then enumerates what he carries
in stock, and is particular to
state that he does not carry 25c
tea, we can get that grade of the
other fellows. He closes this
unique advt. with "In spite of all
the various influences that have
been brought to bear upon peo-
pie who trade a little with us, in
spite of all the coaxing and plead
ing, and the knock-down prices,
enough is left of us so we can
stop here till about January 1st,
1883" Most of us know the history
of that little store. 1t not only
proved to be a mint, but it was
a stepping stone to his future sue
cesses.
Sunday last the mercury was at
zero, Monday 10 above zero, and
not much sugar weather. The
Oldest inhabitant has had to take
a back seat, as he has no record
of such weather in April.
We are in receipt of az booklet
describing the attractions at Wa
terbury Inn, Waterbury, VT. Saw,
let us take a run over there next
summer and see Will Davis, the
proprietor. 1t is Just a delightful
automobile trip.
OF kid gloves Hale has got in for
Easter?
Mr.. Chamberlain, of East Rye
gate, was in town for few hours
Sunday afternoon.
If you should be fortunate en-
ough to have an invitation to go
out to Arthur Carleton's in sug-
airing, just accept the invitation,
for you would not only have
rafting good time, but you would
see an up-to-date sugar place. You
would find out in the first place
that Mr.. Carleton not only uses
his hands in the management of
his large estate, you find that
there was brain power behind the
hands. He has $500 trees tapped,
and with all this preparation for
large run, he is doubtful if he
can fill his orders, which come
from all sections of the United
States. Mr.. Carleton is not only
one of the best sugar makers in
Vermont, he is one of her most
successful farmers, as his large
herds attest. If Mr.. Carleton could
possibly be lacking in any enter
tainment for his guests, his active
son, Harold, could fill the bill
with an improviso of the most I'M
expected kind, and no doubt his
fertile young mind will retain I'M
til his head is gray, and his shout
ders are bowed, the slide he gave
the Elder and the layman on that
beautiful April day of 1911.
Miss Ross has returned from
Boston.
Mrs. Webb and Miss Marguret
are visiting Mrs. Swasey in Con-
cord, NH.
Lloyd Cheever of st. Johnsbury,
is spending a few days in town.
Oscar Chase claims that his Pa
has one of the best cows in town;
says she gives so lbs of milk once
a day, or it may be twice a day,
the writer has forgotten which.
Mrs. George Moore entertained |
MIR. and Mrs. Abbott Bailey at her |
home last Tuesday.
1t is gratifying to the many |
friends of Madam Cobleigh to |
learn that she is recovering from |
her illness, and that she is able /
to get down stairs, and it is ex-
pected she will soon be able to 1
minister to others deeds of kind
ness, which has always been her
life's work.
Miss Sanborn, a former teacher,
is spending a few days of her va
cation in town, the guest of Mrs.
Barnett.
We learn that c. o. Clifford, our
grain dealer, has purchased the
livery.
We understand that Miss Cor
don will break up house keeping
and will board the coming term.
IL anyone should want a single
piece of furniture, here is an OPP
portunity to purchase it at
figure.
