Saturday: REV. E. W. Sharp, the minis
ter assigned by the Vermont Methodist
conference to the Springfield church,
whose retiring pastor is Rev. William
II. Butler, will occupy the pulpit for the
first time next Sunday. The people of
the church feel that they are especially
favored in this assignment as Rev. Mr..
Sharp was the most sought after of any
minister attending the conference. He
was pastor of the church at Mortified
for eight years, and the people there
would have been very happy to have had
him remain for another eight years. His
health failed, however, and he has been
recuperating for the past three years,
although supplying during the past year
at Windsor. His present home is in
Brattleboro. The new pastor and his
wife will move into the local parsonage
as soon as 1t can be renovated for
them"

the east side of the park property and
laid 1t out into ~ large building lots.
Messrs Rice. Randall Pettee and c. A.
McRae are planning to erect houses this
year and several others intend to join
the colony. The section probably will be
known as Chestnut hill and it is hoped
to develop the entire park property
within the next few years The idea of
those interested in the plan Is to bring
about the development Of the east side
this year and on that account reason
able prices have been placed on the lots
not already taken. The building in this
district will add several thousand dol
lars to the estimated cost of building
