Mr.. and Mrs. w. Richmond go next
week to Racine, Wisconsin, to visit
their daughter. Mrs. Bradshaw. They
| will probably remain there during the
winter. Mr.. and Mrs. Bradshaw have
recently moved from Kansas City to
Racine. where Mr.. Bradshaw is secre-
tary in charge Of the Young Mems
Christian Association.
On Wednesday evening about 9
O'Clock an alarm from Box Is was
sounded for fire at the residence of
h. b. Cushman, on Pleasant street.
The fire originated in the cellar and
was confined to that portion of the
house. Comparatively little damage
resulted except from steam and
smoke, as the flames were subdued by
the chemical engine. The origin of
the fire has not been determined.
The Senior class of Newport high
school has arranged for the appear
ance at Lanes opera house on Jan. 2.
of the Musical Clubs of the University
of Vermont in a grand concert. The
entertainment will consist of both
vocal and instrumental music under
the leadership of Harry Dane and
should be we'll patronized by our
music loving public. Mr.. Dane is one
of our own number and can be trusted
to bring good entertainment with
him.
A party of young people in charge
of Prin. E. S. Watson, students of the
High school, enjoyed a straw ride to
Derby Friday evening to witness the
basket ball game between Derby acad
envy and Newport high. The game
was fast and exciting, Newport win
ming by the narrow margin of two
points IN a score Of rs to %. The next
Dec. rs when the Stowe High school
team is to be encountered. The sea-
sons schedule calls for five games at
home and an equal number abroad
while one date, Feb. q, is still open.
You may gather as many water
lilies on Lake Memphremagog next
season as you can find, for the legis-
lature has refused passage to the
proposed law for their protection.
This beautiful flower blooms in pro-
fusion on certain parts of the lake but
is fast becoming extinct, as few are
left to furnish seed. But a law that
cannot be enforced is worse than
useless. The position of water lily
warden would have been fragrant Job,
but anything like enforcement of such
a law would have cost a fabulous sum.
Such proposed laws, together with
many that now adorn our statutes,
particularly as to fish and game,
| should be relegated to the legislative
/ scrap heap.
The governing board of the Mem
phremagog Yacht Club have COM
pleted negotiations for the purchase of
Milestone Island and the club now
has deed of the property. While
there has been some diversity of
opinion as to the advisability of the
acquisition of this property, the
transaction is generally satisfactory.
Lake shore property here is in good
demand just now and is bound to
advance in value, and it seems well
reasoned that an organization like the
Memphremagog Yacht club should
provide some pleasure ground of it's
own on the shore of this beautiful lake
where its members may go for picnics
and other sports without fear OF
trespassing on the rights of anyone.
