WILMINGTON.
chllds Tavern Changes ownershlp-lts
Effect on the Future Of Wilmington.

One of the events that is to mark the
new year, 1912, for Wilmington is the
sale of the Chlds Tavern by it's builder,
Maj. f. w. Childs of Brattleboro, to the
present lessees, Mr.. and Mrs. f. S.
Crafts.
The deed is made and will be delivered
and the transfer completed next spring
at such time as the present lease of Mr..
and Mrs. Crafts expires. Then will begin
an important removing and remodeling,
which will increase capacity, meet pres
ent needs and future requirements, maxi
ing the tavern convenient and attractive
to patrons as well as to the public gen.
orally The barn and sheds in the rear
will be taken away, the old hotel moved
across the street to occupy their site, the
building equipped with baths and other
modern improvements and connected by
an elevated bridge or walk with the
tavern itself.
The newly located building will be
pleasantly situated, commanding a good
view of West Main street as well as the
river and other scenery in the rear, and
will be used more especially for the ac-
commodation of summer boarders.
The kitchen and dining room Of the
tavern will be enlarged a garage erected
on the site made vacant by the removal
of the old hotel, the grounds set with
shade trees and all surroundings made to
conform to the general plan of improve
ment. In thus surrendering his title and
placing ownership in the hands of very
competent and very popular host and
hostess" Mr.. Childs has but given an
other proof of his sincere and abiding
interest in the welfare and prosperity of
his native town. Taken in connection
with the sale and prospective business of
the "Choate' MILL" the talk of an electric
road from Brattleboro and other schemes
that are contemplated, who will say that
the future of Wilmington does not look
promising?

Graphite Mine Near Bellows Falls.

Few of our citizens know that during
the past year $4,000 to $4,000 has been ex-
pended within three miles of Bellows
Falls in the development of what prom
Uses to be a valuable graphite mine. 1t
is located on the Whittier farm between
here and Walpole, a half mile or so off
the main road between the two villages.
The work has been carried on by ]. @.
A. Houghton of Philadelphia, and from
II to 20 workmen have been employed
during the summer and fall. Work has
just been suspended for the winter. A
shaft by II feet in diameter has been
sunk 20 feet and various veins of the ore
have been struck. evidently increasing in
quality, until Mr.. Houghton claims one
has been reached which rivals in quail
ity and probably in quantity the best
mines in the country. 1t is adapted to
the making of the finest lead pencils and
the various uses to which the best quail
tiles of graphite are put. Mr.. Hough-
ton Is an experienced prospector and
owns mining rights in Athens upon two
farms, and has prospects in a number of
other states

Rfssons for Increase Of Drunkenness.

ZThe police department of the village,
N making the annual report to the viii
Page corporation, shows a total of 2iS ar
rests during the year 1911. OF these POS
were for intoXicaton. The report of the
same department for the year 1910
showed a total of 81 arrests, of which SO
were for drunkenness. The year 1909
showed 10i arrests, 70 for drunkenness.
These figures are rather startling be-
cause of the greatly increased amount
of drunkenness, caused by the seven sa-
looms across the river in North Walpole
the last year. For the two previous
years Walpole was no-license. There is
no indication of any traffic in ntoxicat-
ing liquors by dealers this side of the
river, but the express companies are kept
busy bringing orders from North WAL
pole. Certainly the citizens of Bellows
Falls have a deep interest in the question
of whether license is to be continued the
other side of the river after the pres
ent year.
