GREAT PROGRESS MADE
In Work of the Montpelier Choral So
ciety-Nearly 200 Registered

The beginning of the second month OF
the Montpelier Choral society's rehears-
ais Tuesday night brought forth the
largest attendance this year, there be-
ing 1877 members registered, of whom
| $50 were present. This is about 50 more
than at the same time last year. The
| membership bids fair TO exceed last
years by a considerable number, there
| being many new members from Barre.
During the intermission James Bennett
of Barre sang, For All Eternity" by
Mazoni, accompanied by Mrs. Bennett.
Mr.. Bennett has pleasing tenor voice
of considerable power and his solo was
greatly enjoyed. Next week Miss Mar
ion Bickford OF Montpelier seminary will
render a selection. These special num-
bers are proving a very enjoyable feature
Of the rehearsals.
Mr. Coffin stated that in the history
of the organization there never has been
made such progress in mastering the
works as in the five rehearsals already
held Mr.. Coffin also made few re-
marks about conflicts with other events
in connection with the rehearsals. He
said while he stood ready at all times
to cooperate with local organizations in
this matter it was impossible TO change
the dates fixed upon at the beginning OF
the wear for the rehearsals because he is
engaged every evening in the week and
change at any one place will upset all
the Others. He urged the members to
bring the matter to the attention OF
those in charge of local entertainments
so that they can select some other night
than Tuesday for their affairs.
Mr.. Coffin has 1900 singers under his
charge each week.

Parent day" in the Barre public
schools is an opportunity for the people
of the community to see what their chill
dren do during the greater part Of the
daylight hours OF the school year The
fact that 440 parents took advantage of
the opportunity on Wednesday is con
vincng proof that the parents are inter
cs.ed in the work Of educating the chill
dren of the city The number should
have been 1000 however.

Chelsea may be said TO have laid the
foundation for the new hotel to replace
the structure recently burned, because
the voters OF the town authorized an ex-
emption from taxation for period Of
five years. With exemption as an in
Gscement and with the undoubted de
mand for fairly commodous hotel as
another indueement, capital ought not to
hesitate long in putting up a building
worth al least as much as $4,000 We
shall be surprised if another year rolls
around without Chelsea making this for
ward step.

prison at Atlanta, Ga, on charge OF
taking mail from a private box in
the local postofiice. has lust returned
to the city He was given eighteen
months of his sentence for good be-
havior, and was said to be a model
prisoner. He was a mechanic of some
proficiency and while there had charge
OF the erection of building within
the prison grounds. He relates a story
of how the prisoners make them a
makeshift still from old copper and
pieces picked up from the workshops
within the prison enclosure and sec
reting it We're enabled to put it all
10 gether and with some ingenuity
construct a still. They would then
take molasSes and material which
could be worked mp into material
which would produce the desired ef
feet after going through the still and
they had n form of booze which pro
duced all the effects of the real noun
tain moonshine. However, as is the
case with the real kind, it gave the
prisoners away when they began to
talk too freely and acting different to
the way in which sober prisoners
should act, and the officials began an
investigation which led to the disclo-
sure Of the source from which the
trouble maker was coming and the
well laid plans were broken up.
