A CHRISTMAS REMEMBRANCE

The Editor of the Middlebury Register.
Dear Sir:
The most interesting Christmas gift,
out of many which received, was an
illuminated calendar made by children
of the Bread Loaf district school of Rip
ton, of which Miss Ruth Billings is the
teacher. To each month was given a
separate sheet, picture in color illus
trative of the month being above the
record of the days. January, by Harold
Boynton, was a branch of leafless
twigs; February, by Ida Boynton, was
a heart encircled by wreath and ITO
My Valentine on it; March, by Edna
Kirby, was bunch of catkins; April,
by Beatrice Kirby, some just Matched
chickens; May, by Harold Whittemore
a robin redbreast perched on the branch
of tree; June, by Jennie Coulombe,
some June roses; July, by Ethel
Thatcher, a flag and a fire-cracker;
August, by Almeda Murray, bunch of
cherries; September, by Earl Clark, a
cluster of goldenrod; October, by Edna
Kirby, squirrel knawing nut;
November, by Walter Kirby, fallen
leaf; December, by Eleanor Atwood a
Christmas tree. The five youngest
children sent notes in which We're pic
lures of trees drawn by them and
Christmas greetings. A few days age
| received letters from fifteen of the
children, written while at school, thank
ing for presents received and describing
the Christmas festivities and ending
with little home details real letters
and not mere compositions. A letter re
ceived today from a very young cir
contained a list of the wild and tame
birds which she knew call atteati
to these facts as know that they vii
interest many of your readers, and may
be suggestive to teachers of our rura
schools, for they are mainly due to the
chidren's excellent teacher, Mis-.
Billings.

LATE FALL FLOWING.

The late fall blowing Of land
intended to he seeded to oats
next spring is i'm most instances
an excellent practice. II the land
is naturally heavy the exposure
to winter freezing and thawing
will do much 10 ameliOrate 1t,
but the principal advantage to
be gained is in having the land
ready for seeding just as early
i'm the spring as frost and mois-
ture conditions will permit.
Usually oats sown early succeed
much better than those sOwn
later. There is almost always
brief period in early spring
when oats can be sown If the
land is ready. but if the blowing
has yet To he done the oppOrtu-
nifty passes before both the plow-
ing and the seeding are accom-
plished. 1t frequently is several
weeks before another OppOrtuni-
ty for seeding occurs. This Is
the chief argument for the fall
blowing of oat land.

1888. These bids were referred to the
road committee and when the oils have
been tested the director and clerk are au-
thorized to award the contract as desig-
mated by the committee. For the new
laundry building at the almshouse the
bidders were: ]. r. Gillian, Jr., So, 1896;
Lewis C. Mathis, S2,157, SO; Winfield s.
Gale, 5000. The bid was awarded to
w. 8. Gale.
Mr.. johnson moved that bids be ad-
vertised for a new concrete bridge at
Herman City. This resolution was laid
on the table and Mr.. Russ offered mo.
ton that plans be prepared for a pile
bridge. This was adopted. Later Mr..
Esham moved to reconsider this vote,
but his motion did not prevail.
This about concluded the business and
the board adjourned until time for the
regular meeting in May. The engineer
said there would be much work to be
done in preparing all the plans and
specifications that had been ordered and
he did not know whether he could get
them all in shape by the time designat-
ed. He was told to 60 ahead and get the
most important ones ready.

Two Anniversaries

Next Saturday will witness the ami.
versary of two prosperous stores and the
event seems to call for more then passing
notice.
Four years ago Alexander Dubell was
an assistant in the drug store of Edward
B. Jones. The latter decided to retire
from business and his confidence in his
assistant was such that he gave Mr..
Dubell the first chance to purchase and
the sale was contaminated. From that
time the business has increased and
prospered and it has been necessary for
the new proprietor to enlarge his build
ing. Everything that would aid or as
sist those who need drugs and medicines
was secured either on his own knowledge
or in response to requests of customers
and nothing has been too much trouble
for him to do to accommodate his pat
rons, and the result is business that
stands firm with patronage that is en-
viable. Saturday will be the anniver-
sary day and Mr.. Dubell will have many
surprises in store for those who visit the
place.
The store of William Curtis Wetherill
has been existence for long while, un-
der other management than that of the
present proprietor, although he has been
identified with it for some time. Eight
years ago he took possession, and by
skillful management built up the bust
ness to such an extent that he was
obliged to remodel the place, and it is
the sixth anniversary Of that event that
will take place on Saturday.
This is another case of a young man
stepping from the position of salesman
to that of proprietor, with vim and en-
ergy to make good. He has done SO and
from the single store he occupied when
be took charge of the business he now
has an addition which while it increases
his space is hardly large enough to give
him room to properly exhibit the large
stock of goods he keeps for the accommo-
iation of his large custom, which is con-
SANITY growing. Nothing is too much
rouble for this young merchant to do
hat will be of benefit 10 his patrons.
THE News congratulates these young
merchants on the success that has
rowned their efforts to build up lines of |
business that are credit to themselves
md to the town.

Buildings Broken Into.

The public school buildings in Mount
Holly were broken into Sunday night
and things were pretty well turned over.
The manner in which the work was
done points to amateurish actions. The
house on Buttonwood street was evident
ly the first to be broken into, but how
entrance is gained is not known. The
only thing to aid in this idea is that q
chair was taken from one of the rooms
in that building, but nothing else was
disturbed.
The chair was used to let the burglar
reach window in the rear of the Brain
ard street building, and the window was
pried open. The different rooms were
visited, desks were searched and papers
thrown around, but nothing has been
missed thus far. In one corner of this
building is door to the store room, in
which there is large plate glass win
dow. This glass was broken with an
axe and the books and supplies were
strewn around the room.
| Not finding anything of value in
either of the two buildings named, the
burglars went over to the high school
building. There they entered by open
ing window in the gymnasium in the
rear of the building. Then it was easy
to gain access to the other parts of the
