The Sewing School.

1t is now about 80 years since the
sewing school, now named the Julia
Billings sewing school, was estab.
lished in Woodstock and it's helpful
work has done much for hundreds
of children. An exhibit of its work
has recently been seen at w. j..
t,oyce & Co.'S store, Mrs. Myra
Vaughan, the superintendent, hoping
that would interest large number
of people in the institution and
demonstrate the practical value OF
it's work.
In its beginning the sessions of
the school were held in the building
attached to the Billings greenhouse,
where Mrs. Billings and Miss Laura
Wheeler directed it FOR several years.
Sessions are now, held at the-school
building and begin on the first
Saturday in November and continue
once week until the first, Saturday
in May.

WOODSTOCK NEWS
The Dust Nuisance.

AS mid-winter proposition the
plan to oil the streets did not appeal
TO the voters at the annual village
meeting, but the dust nuisance is
again becoming live issue here.
1t was demonstrated right here in
the village last season that the roads
could be effectively and unoffensively
oiled, and at a not impossible cost
considering the expense of the water
sprinkler and what it does NOT do
And oil LAYS THE DUST. AS APP
piled now it is clean and not un-
pleasantly odorous.
Relief from the dust nuisance is as
much needed as a fire alarm whistle,
and if the latter proposition is not
put through - which would be a
misfortune = the money saved might
be expended in oiling the streets.

BASEBALL

Woodstock High opened the season
by trimming Randolph High with
considerable ease, aside from the ex-
penditure of strength in running
bases. Score, IL to 4.
The local team had little or no
practice on the diamond before their
first game, so it was much like try
out for them, but they made very
good showing.
= Aver pitched his first game and
except for a little nervousness and
inclination to work too fast he made
fine start and promises to develop
into first-class boxman. Captain
Wood behind the bat.
Gobie had his regular position at
first, and Ransom, another veteran,
played short. Brady was a new
man at third and is likely to hold
the job there. Scrapper Moore
made his debut Saturday, going into
the outfeld for an inning or two, and
he made one of the eleven runs.
The Randolph boys were not as
efficient at the bat or in the field, but
rallied nthe ninth and added three
runs to their score.
w. III S. was outclassed by New
Hampshire Hall in the game here
Wednesday afternoon. The Dart
mouth boys hit the ball pretty much
as they pleased, and aided by num-
erous errors by the home team rolled
up an appalling score-22 to 9.

The w. R. Junction Station.

Another hearing was held by the
Public Service commissioners in the
parlors of the Junction Hsuse We'd
nesday morning. An agreement was
made by the railroads to FILL in the
cellar where the. station stood and
plank over the space before the
summer travel opens and also to
erect a shelter over the area for the
protection of the travelling public
from sun and rain, says the Land
mark.
AS to the erection of new station
nothing definite was arrived at and
the hearing was adjourned till
Wednesday, june IL, at 8 q. IN. BY
that time it is hoped the difficulties
between the Central Vermont and the
Boston & Maine railroads will be
adjusted and the engineering prob
lens, at which both roads are at
work, can be solved The assurance
was given by the railroads that de-
tailed plans for the location of the
tracks and of the new station would
be ready then. The commissioners
urged that there should be no un-
necessary delay in building a new
station AS matters now stand, it is
impossible for the railroads to tell
where their trunk lines are to go,
much depending on the action taken
by the Massachusetts, legislature in
letting the Grand Trunk into Bos-
ton
