Tuskeaee Sinners Comma.

A meeting will be held in the interest
of Tuskegee Normal Institute at the
Congregational church, August "a, at
s p. m.
The institute, represented by its quar-
tet, will sing the old plantation melo-
dies that have been sung for years
among the negroes of the south and are
in constant use in Tuskegee institute.
The singers themselves are regular
students in the institute and members
of its famous choir. While football
teams go off for sport from various COL
leges, these young men are giving their
time to enable their companions to con-
tinue their studies without interruption.
1t i-quires nearly $275, 900 annually
to operate Tuskegee institute, and of
this amount more than one-half is pro-

interested friends.
The quartet is accompanied by Mr..

institute, who win give an account of
the work being done by the school in
uplifting the negro. Admission free.

NEW ATTRACTIONS GALORE +!
m iddI dIebury Fair Making Feady for
BEST Ever"

Even though the Great Fair of the
Champlain Valley" is still two weeks
off, the activities around the grounds
show that something will be doing
when the curtain goes up on Aug. II
for four full days of the brand of enter
tainment that has made Middlebury
famous.
The Secretary, Frank C. Dyer, who
has just returned from an extensive
tour in his advertising automobile
through Western Vermont and northern
New York announces several brand
new features in addition to the aero
plane and others previously arranged
for.
The racing this year on the new
waterproof track will be on a scale
unsurpassed at any New England fair
$4,000 will be awarded in race premiums
and the famous $1,000 free-for-all will
be first in the circuit. Some of the
fast steppers are already on the ground,
limbering up and it is expected that the
track record will be lowered.
New and unusual accommodations
have been provided. A department of
relics and antiquities has been added in
Exhibition hall and the big fish and
game exhibit will be full of interest.
On the big vaudeville stage plenty of
good stuff is to be put on Hampton s
comedy dogs, the best dog act in this
county, Cotton's donkeys, with the
comical tom and jerry" will compete
for favor, while Hutton's Great Hippo
drome, which travels in state like a
circus, in special palace cars, will show
the best blood horses ever before seen
in such work. A full half mile track is
required for this part of the fair fun,
and the chances are this will alone be
worth the cost of ticket.

SPECIAL VILLAGE, MEETING
Gift of $4,000 From Col. Joseph
BstteII for Repairing Road.

The second village meeting called for
the appropriation of sum of money
for the construction of permanent roads
was held in the town hall on Friday
evening of last week. The meeting
was called to order by Moderator j. E.
Weeks and Clerk Burke read the warn
ing. James B. Donoway introduced
resolution that the village authorize
the trustees to borrow $4,000, at inter-
est not to exceed five per cent, and
that 81, 500 annually should be drawn
from the highway money for payment
on the debt, the interest to be drawn
from the general fund.
Mr.. Donoway spoke at some length
on the resolution and was followed by
Judge A. w. Dickens, who opposed the
resolution on the ground that the vii
lage indebtedness would not warrant
the outlay of any more money this year.
Col. Joseph Battell then arose and said
he was opposed to borrowing money,
but that Weybridge street very much
needed repairs and if the resolution of
Mr.. Donoway was tabled he would give
81, 900 to be expended in the repairs of
that street.
A vote was then taken on the original
resolution and resulted in a vote of
154 for tabling the resolution and 81
against.
