Tonight is the night for the annual
library entertainment Ii win be held
in the lecture room OF the church and
will consist Of an "Old Folks Con-
cert" and an "Old Fashioned Spelling
Bee. That il will be lots Of fun for
the audience we feel very sure so
everyone in town wants 20 get in on
the good time" Admission will be
twenty-five cents. The proceeds to be
used TO buy books and assist in the
expenses Of the library Remember,
il is tonight.
The drivers Of autos should be very
careful when passing through the
"dugway" in this section. They not
only curve quite sharply, but in places
are very narrow. Especially the
"dugway" between Dorset and Man
chester. That stretch of road is es-
pecially dangerous as the fences are
down almost the entire length and on
the inner side the bank is very high
and steep, We had one fatality last
Sunday and another Monday through
some ones laundering and we sin
cerely hope that there will not be an
other. We would suggest that "An
ounce Of caution will save pounds Of
trouble"
The following from the Rome, N. Y.
Evening Sentinel of July 7th, may in
terest the Dorset readers of the
Journal:
"The work of grading on N. Jay
street will be practically completed
this Afternoon and the Warren Broth
ers' Paving Company will then start
in to lay the bed of this roadway. To-
morrow morning work on grading will
be started on John street, at George
street, and as soon as this is done
work will be commenced on the River
street job. A. M. Butman, who is in
charge Of this work, is at present in
Rochester, looking after a small paw
ing contract, but will be back in
Rome before the end of the week. In
the meantime the work is handled by
R. D. Campbell, who is not only an
expert bookkeeper and accountant but
also thoroughly familiar with every
phase of the paving operations, and
Sydney Smith, who has charge of the
grading work"
Miss Barrows entertained at the
Barrows House on Thursday evening
in honor of her guests from Syracuse.
The party was entertained by several
vocal and piano selections given by
Miss Barnes, Miss Welles, and Miss
Bates, and also by Shakespearean
Love Story. Another enjoyable fea-
ture. of the evenings entertainment
was an original story, the characters
of which were members of the party.
The adjectives were left blank, and
later were supplied by the company.
The story was then read aloud, amid
gales of laughter caused by the ride
ulous combinations of adjeetives and
nouns. Light refreshments were
served. Those present were Miss
Georgiana Wells, Miss Ora Barnes,
Miss Nettie Bates, Miss Margaret
Gilbert, Mrs. Haven, Mrs, A. E. King,
Mrs. Theresa c. Barrows, Mrs. F. w.
Young, Miss Marjorie Young, Mrs. E.
W. Hawkins, Miss Nina G. Barrows,
Rev. lie Roy Haven, A. E. King, and
Palmer Boughton.
Another fatal accident occurred
Tuesday afternoon just north of East
Rupert. Jane, the little year-old
girl of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Danforth,
ran in front of an auto and was
crushed to DEATH The driver, !. H. |
Blessing of Syracuse, N. Y, did all
anyone could do to prevent the acct
dent by swinging away out to the side
of the road; but too late to avoid hit
ting the child. That he was not go
ing fast is proved by the fact that he
stopped his machine within fifteen feet
after striking the little girl, and that
it was an unavoidable accident seems
to be the united opinion of all who
know the circumstances. Mr.. Blessing
did not try to get away; but did all he
could to aid the stricken family. Dep
lty Sheriff Norcross was calleu and
took the case in charge. He escorted
Mr.. Blessing TO Bennington where the
necessary legal formalities were dis
posed Of, and, after bail had been
Mr.. Blessing was allowed
10 proceed on his journey.
Last Sunday afternoon occurred orc
Of those peculiar accidents in which
no one seems to be responsible, on the
Rupert fiat about four miles north Of
Dorset, and resulted in the dealt Of
