Friends of Robert f. Foote who has
been living in Troy, n. Y, were shock
ed Saturday morning to hear Of his
sudden death at Guilford, Conn, where
he was visiting with relatives. Mr..
Foote had been coming to Dorset dur
ing the summer season for a number
Of years and during that time had
made many warm friends, Mr., Footc
was an accomplished musician and
many times gave his Dorset friends
pleasure by assisting at local concerts
and club musicals.
We have been requested to ask driv-
ers of horses and also of autos to try
and remember that the Greens" on
Church street can not be kept in good
if driven over. A little care
and little thought by the drivers and
.he habit Of keeping off the Grass"
will soon be formed A great deal of
money and labor has been spent on
these greens and it is too bad to have
hem cut up by wagon and auto tires
,ither because drivers do not care or
do not think"
Prof. j. A. Mclean of the Quaker
Oats Co. of Boston, Mass, gave a
most interesting lecture on the Feed
ng and Care of Cows last Wednesday
,vening in School Hall. The threaten
ng weather and busy season for our
'armers kept a number from coming
nut, but those who did attend felt well
'epaid for their effort and fully appre-
rated what Prof. Mclean had to tell
hem If arrangements can be made |
lext fall or winter the Professor will
eturn to Dorset and repeat his lee
urc. As he is an interesting talker
md talks to his audience so they can
ully understand all that he tells them |
here is no doubt that the hall will be !
veil filled when he does come.
There will be a show the last three
lays of this week at School Hall.
