show that anything vital to Barre should
be vital to you. The place to show it Is
in the city court room at 1880 this even
ing. "Clean up and paint up" are the
five words that should goad you to inn
mediate action. A comment on the
movement: "The idea commends itself.
The removal of accumulated rubbish in
back yards, the abolition OF unsightly
dumps, the fresh as paint look, which
should suitably accompany natures ver-
nal outpourings, are wholly desirable.
Efforts in this direction enhance civic
pride. They have distinct educational
value for the young people and for the
grownups as well. A small degree of
communal spirit, enthusiasm and lib
eral amount of elbow grease are all that
is needed"
The following clipping from the April
number of the magazine, Congregation
alism in Maine,v regarding Miss Jones.
who is secretary of the Office at Port
land, will be Of interest to Barre peo-
Pile: "The choice of Miss Bessie E. Jones
as bookkeeper and stenographer, with
charge of the office in the absence of
the superintendent, was singularly for
tunate. Miss Jones is member of the
Congregational church and apart from
her faithful and efficient service has a
personal interest in the successful work
ings of the office for the sake of the
society. This has not a little to do
with the success which has been
achieved Without any doubt. Miss
Jones has not only commended herself
to all patrons of the office. but has
helped to convince them of its value, if
they ever doubted it. Miss Jones has
lately returned from Bangor, Me-, where I
she gave a report of her work, which !
was highly praised" Miss Jones former
ly resided in Barre.
Circuses of the three-ring type are not |
to visit Barre this year and so far as
can be learned the big shows are side
stepping Montpelier. But right here in !
our own city there is to be another ex
hibition by Young Buffalo Bill and his
side partner. Captain William Cummings. |
