/ \. j.. is a guest of Mrs. Edwin Chils

this stable.
Rufus Gilbert Of the West road ha.

Clarence Blackmer drove to Gran
vile Monday on business connected
with his livery. Last week Mr.. Black

three as good horses for that purpose
as any liveryman in the county,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Bartlett of Ben

members of the association and get
ting in touch with our people. Mrs.

visited our schools.
The Yoke Bearers supper and So
cial tonight in the lecture room at
$50 o'clock will be well worth attend
ing. As we said before, these suppers
can not be beat for the price 90 cents)
and you save money by going to them.
Better arrange to be at the first table.
The Ladies Society supper will be the
latter part of the month and will also
be a good one. Exact date will be an
nounced in at later issue.
We would again call attention to our
Village Greens. Remember that their
being kept in good order goes long
way toward making our village at
tractiye to strangers. They can not be
kept up if drivers of cars and teams
persist in running over them and cut
ting the edges and corners Help the
village by keeping in mind the fact
that our Greens are one Of our best
assets in attracting visitors.
The pupils and teachers of our viii
lage schools have set our residents
fine example by cleaning up the school
yard and also making little gardens
along the fence line and planting vines
around the screens in the rear of the
school building. They have worked
hard and propose to keep the place
trim and clean. Mrs. Bartlett spoke of
our schools as being the neatest and
best she had seen in her journeys
around the county. Good work chill
dren. Keep it up, and do not let other
schools pass you.
The Barrows House building is rap
idly being erected and will be ready
for guests on time. The enlargement
of the dining room in the main build
ing is a great improvement and gives
a fine large light room which will be
enjoyed by the guests.
With the completion of the addition,
the Barrows House will be able to take
care of double the number of former
years. In later issue we will de-
scribe the new building and also tell
our readers a little about the accom- |
Dorset now has for her
summer visitors.
The speaker for Memorial Day will |
be Rev. w. J. Chapman of Manchester
Center. Mr.. Chapman is man who
will interest the public and we hope
our people will be sure and get into
the church on time so they can profit
oy the good things which Mr.. Chap
nan will give them. The Pawlet Band
will furnish the music for the day
md as you all know it will be enter
aiming and there will be plenty of it.
