Joining towns. They, in turn, will d.

back OF the big campaign have thus far
been received with spontaneous favor on
all sides. The spirit of the campaign
is rapidly becoming contagious and as

from Danbury, Conn, to indicate the
progress made in gathering funds, once

clock will be highly Illuminated and
visible by night at a great distance.
One will be posted at the north end Of
the city and another near the business
section A third will be placed at
strategic point in Barre Town, probably

for keeping every village and hamlet in
this vicinity informed az to the progress
of the campaign The clocks are to be
wired and no less than SO high-power
lamps will proclaim nightly as well as
by day the degree of success which is
attending the efforts of the solicitors.
Pennants, posters and window cards,
aptlv designed to fit the occasion, have
been ordered from New York They will
make their appearance within short
time for distribution in Barre and towns
nearby. From out of the citv eneourag-
