Some johnson Notes by the Editor

The stores all report a good holiday
trade. Those who advertised in this
paper did a rushing business.
Enos Sherwin finished work at the
station last Monday. Good luck to Enos
and harty welcome to his successor.
The Normal school has again taken up
the thread, after a fine holiday vacation.
Every department is moving along o K
and Principal Allen is happy.
A very handy little pocket calendar is
that inst got out by the News and Citizen
for Waterman Lodge and the Eastern
Star. 1t contains the date of communi
cations, list of officers, and the names of
all the members. They may be had of
the secretary.
One of the best hotels hereabouts is
the johnson House, which was for a long
time under the management of E. Wells.
who built up d reputation for the house
that is well sustained by Pat" Chap
man, man who knows how to cater to
the public wants.
That annual church dinner, given by
the Congregational church people, re-
ported elsewhere, had large attend
ance, the number being in the vicinity of
200, And such spread of good things
1t was splendid and greatly enjoyed by
all. The johnson ladies know how to
get up feast of good things and this was
one of the best. All ages of people were
there-the oldest, Deacon Fletcher Jones
in his ninety.tifth year, and the youngest
Harold Hill, aged two months.
That the Johnson postoffice is well
and ably managed goes without saying.
How could it be different with "Max"
at its head and "Hersie" close second.
Everybody is pleased with everything
except the big box rents and "Max," for
the life of himself, can't get reduction
because the postmaster-general says
init" so don't blame MAX" but just
put up with it for awhile. When city
delivery comes you'll be as well off as
those who live on the r. F. d. routes
the mail will come to your door.
The News and Citizen man was here
asst Saturday and in spite of the cold
weather many came to the village TO pay
or their paper for another year. 1t was
me of the best years of late and shows
hat the old-time paper, the News and
Citizen, is the peoples favcrite-especi-
lily Johnson peope e, who have found in
his paper one that has in every way
within it's power stood by them and adj
odated everything that was for this To-
ality's best interests. We wish all our
eaders in this place Happy New Year
nd trust that 1912 will see the inangura- /
ion of many things that will rebound to |
he welfare of Johnson-one of the best |
owns in Lamoille county.
Johnson has two industries that many
larger place might well covet and
'hich adds in a large measure to the
of the village; they are the
arker & Stearns dressing mill, where
le best of hard wood flooring is turned
ut, and which finds ready market
he other is the wooden mill, where
lie famous johnson yarns and the we'll
nowD johnson pants are made. The
arms have a wide reputation and the
ants are known not only throughout the
lie state, but outside as we'll. Thew are
lie kind that wear and that give good
lssfaction every time. This latter in
tuition is under the management of d.
. Barrows, who gives his undivided at
ntion TO the same and has the satisfac-
on of seeing hitherto large business
