There was an exciting few minutes
in our village Tuesday morning when
the horses belonging TO Charles Dam
forth Of East Rupert and attached to
meat cart, took fright and bolted.
The animals raced around ]. H. Shell
don's driveway and out between Pei
tiers store and the Sheldon cottage,
then across the green and around the
corner and up main street towards
home. When in front of w. B. Sykes
barn the wagon collided with shed
post and remained there, the horse
going on faster than before until it
reached the C. H. Norcross place
where il was stopped by Mr.. Norcross.
The only damage done was a broken
thill and whitfletree. Fortunately
Mr.. Danforths stock of meat was not
thrown out. One roll of sausage being
the only loss from the stock in the
wagon. This was Mr.. Danforth's first
trip as travelling meat man and we
congratulate him that the damage was
not more serious. Moral: When ped
ding see that the horse is steady one
and not easily frightened.

Hollow" road, Mrs. Calista Hazelton

Just word to our own people and
10 those who may choose Dorset as a
summer home. Do you know that we
nave three good stores in this village?
East store is trying to it's best to give
The public what is needed. As a rule
what you can not find in one you will
secure in another. To keep up to the
standard these stores must have the
support of the community. If they do
lot get it you can not expect to have
hem up-to-date as we and they would |
ike them to be. But you say they
harge more than the stores in Man
hester and other towns. Do they?'l
