We would again remind owners Of
autos Of the danger Of driving in the
dusk and after il is dark without
lights. Also the fact that the cor.

warning should be given when ap-
preaching these places. Monday eve

Messrs Perry Peltier and Ernest
Manley our Path Finders" took an
other trip into New York State Sun
day. They went by way of Granville
to Hebron and around Lake Cossayuna
returning over the same route. They
found the roads very good With the
exception of the s..etcn from Red
Mill to the foot of Blossom Hill. Same
has been top dressed with coarse
gravel and is a place to look out for,
after dark. The road
around Lake Cossayuna was reported
as being fine and a pleasure to drive
over.
One of the pleasant events last week
was the gathering of "Old Timers" at
the home of Mrs. Edwin Child on
Church ST., to meet Mr.. and Mrs. L.
Gregory and their son Ernest and
Mrs. H. j. Hall of Marblehead, Mass.
Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Gregory before
were the Misses Goldhwaite,
and as young ladies used to come to
Dorset with their brother, DR.. Ernest
Goldhwaite. The gathering was most
and for old times sake some
IF the amusements Of long ago were
.ried and caused vast amusement. |
Two or three of the present genera
ion were present and they must have
thought that their parents and others
lad suddenly become as young as
hey. Light refreshments were serv-
ID and towards midnight the "Old
Timers" wendell their way homeward
ceiling as if they had spent an even
ng in June 1881 instead of 1914.
Would that more of these gatherings
ould be held as it is good for all who
axe part in them.
At the meeting Of Dorset Grange,
week ago last night, it was voted
o enter the Grange contest at the
}attenkill Valley Industrial Fair this
all, and the following committee was
appointed to look after the exhibit:
Chairman, Frederick Sheldon; Mrs.
Henry HARDWOOD, Miss Anna Gilbert,
Irs. E. H. West and Mrs. Ethel Mat
on. Committees were also appoint
d to look after the annual exhibition
# Dorset Grange in October and the
Bennington County Improvement ex-
libition in November. The question
Shall Women Have the Vote ?" was
lbly discussed by the members led by
Rev. w. Leroy Haven for and B. B.
Sheldon against. Splendid arguments
we're presented by both sides, and con-
iderable good natured hits were made
~ the speakers. At the close it seem
d as if those in favor had the best Of
he argument, but no decision was
yiven. Miss Anna Manley and Z. H.
Vest furnished the music which was
thoroughly appreciated by all present.
During July, August and September

for the benefit of the Grange. That
Il will be a good one we know and well
worth the price.
