Electricity for Greensboro and Crafts
bury

bury.
The Hardwick Gazette tells the
story of extending the Hardwick
electric municipal plant lines as
/ follows: AT the special Hardwick
-, village meeting Friday evening, Nov.
! &c it was voted 10 extend the
municipal electric system to the
villages Of East Hardwick, Greensboro
| Bend, Greensboro and Craftsburys and
| is one of the most important actions
taken since the installation of the
present efficient electric plant. With
| these villages supplied, the village
plant Will furnish electric current to
| the towns Of WoIcott. Woodbury.,
| HaYdwck and those above named. At
the beginning Of the meeting the
trustees were asked to make report
! as t. the demand for current in the
territory contemplated, the cost of the
Ines, etc. and in answer the clerk
read a petition from East Hardwick,
signed by II citizens, one from
Greensboro Bend signed by 43 citizens,
and one from Craftsbury, signed by SO.
The estimated cost was given from at
$500. 90 to $3.50 90 per mile, or a total
estimate cost of $7626 for the three
villages of East Hardwick, Greens
boro and Greensboro Bend. This
includes cost of meters and trans
formers. The total cost including
Craftsbury, was given at 81. CPS. The
estimated horsepower necessary for
lighting East Hardwick, Greensboro,
and Greensboro Bend was given at Is,
and estimated income from line of
about ST., $50 annually: an additional
81 900 is estimated from the Crafts
bury line. The different routes which
might be followed were considered,
and the distance from the square in
this village over the hill to East
RI ard wick was given as 1,007 rods; by
he river road 1,7l5 rods. Or a
! difference of about mile The line
% Greensboro contemplated. was by
| Hardwick street, and to Craftsbury
! from that point. The matter was left
with the trustees to choose the routes
most feasible. Last summer E. H.
Vancour of MorrisvIle constructed a
pole line from East Hardwick to
Greensboro Bend and part way 10
Greensboro, and the trustees were in
structed to purchase this if advisable.
which they have done since the
meeting, for 81, $50. The wires are
strung over a part of this system. 1t
was voted to make a rate of II cents
per k. w. hour for current with a
light, and a charge of 35 cents per
quarter for meter rent. The question
of short term rates was laid over until
some future meeting. The trustees
were instructed to extend the lines at
the earliest possible time, and to draw
loan orders at the lowest rate that
could be secured. The trustees have
since let the contract to construct lines
to the first three villages contemplated
to E. E. Gage of St. Johnsbury, for
SIS. 500, to begin from the iron bridge
on Wolcott street, by way of Slapp's
hill, to the Porter turn and over the
hill to East Hardwick. The wire to be
No. 4, and the price to include loops
and meters for 60 dwellings, trans
formers and lightning arresters. Mr..
Gage is already on the ground. the
routes have been partially staked and
he will begin digging post holes Mon
day. 1t is expected East Hardwick
will have electricity by Christmas.

The Christ Child.

Oh, the beauty of the Christ Child,
The gentleness, the grace,
The smiling, loving tenderness,
The infantile embrace!
All babyhood he holdeth,
All motherhood infoldeth,
Yet who hath seen his face?
Oh, the nearness of the Christ Child
When for a sacred space
He nestles in our very homes,
Light of the human race!
We know him and we love him,
No man to US need prove him,
Yet who hath seen his face?

LAME EVERY MORNING
A Bad Back is Generally Worse in the
Morning. Barton People are
Finding Relief.

A back that aches all day and
causes discomfort at night is usually
worse in the morning. Makes you
feel as if you hadn't slept at all.
You can't get rid of kidney back
ache, until you reach the cause.-the
kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are
especially prepared for weakened or
disordered kidneys-have been CRATE
fully recommended by thousands.
Testimony of Barton people proves
the merit of Doan's.
Charles Brooks, Water street, Bar
ton, says-"My kidneys annoyed me
me constantly, and suffered from
lameness and pains across my loins
did not rest we'll and mornings felt
stiff and lame. Three boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from
Barron Co.'s Drug Store, relieved me
and have had no trouble since.'

simply ask for kidney remedy-get
