Edwin Lefeyre of New York. wa
In town for several days last week at
tending TO the Improvements he i!
making on his place on the West road
When the work is completed Mr.. lie,
fevre will have one Of the handsomes,
places in Bennington county. During
his stay in Dorset Mr.. Lefevre was a
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. f. II. West.
Mrs. A. A. Norton of Poultney, was
in town last Wednesday and attended
the meeting of Dorset Grange We'd
nesday night Mrs. Norton is master
Of Poultney Grange and has shown
wonderful ability in building up her
Grange which was in very poor shape
when she was elected as its master
While in town Mrs. Norton was the
guest Of Mr. and Mrs. George b. Ed
gerton of the North district.
At the Grange meeting last week
there were 90 members and three Wis
itors present. Eight received the third
and fourth degrees, which was followed
by a harvest supper. 1t was one Of
the very best meetings in some time
and much enthusiasm was manifested.
Ii was voted to exhibit at the Batten-
kill Valley Fair next fall if the condi-
tons are favorable. The next meeting
will be held Wednesday, May 9Th.
The church social last Friday even
ing was success in every way. The
supper was good and plenty Of it and
the social hour afterwards was most
enjoyable. There was some music,
both vocal and instrumental and the
seventy or more present departed for
their homes we'll pleased with the
evening and hoping the Ladies Society
will give another very soon. A little
over seven dollars was received
A very large auto truck passed |
through here twice last week and its
passage shook the ground and build
ings close to the road The sign on
the side of the truck read Glens Falls
Storage Company. Evidently some
one took that way to move from New
York State into Vermont. Much nicer
than going around by rail and more
as you load at the door
and un Dad at the door of your new
home.
We would call the attention of our
friends and neighbors to the fact that
our ladies are trying VERY HARD to
make our village GREENS ATTRAC-
TIVE, Aid their work by not driving
lcross them. Go around. 1t takes
,nly a minute or two more and does {
lot mar the turf. Especially in wet !
weather.. In turning around with au-
os or large wagons try and not run
lpon the edges. A little care will pre-
-ent this.
A rumor was circulated last winter
hat Avalon House (Mrs. A. P. Sher-
nan's) would not be open this year
