By the will of DR.. Henry D. Holton,
president of the Vermont National
bank, president of the Brattleboro
Home for the Aged and Disabled and
president of the Austine Institution
for the Deaf and Blind, the First Bap-
tist church of Brattleboro will come
into possession of DR.. Holton s valuable
residence property at the corner Of
Main and Walnut streets, the residence

large carriage house to the east Of the
residence, facing on Walnut street, to

The church has special need for
just the provision that is made by the

THREE YOUNG GENTLEMEN
TO ENTER The SERVICE.
c. Chicks Enters Marine Branch, \.
B. Cochrane The Army Corps, And
COrpS.

Three well-known young gentle
men have recently offered their SER
vices to the government and unless
something very unexpected occurs,
they will likely be called within the
next few days.
They are Mr.. Chaplain G. Hicks,
who has enrolled in the United
States Coast Defense Reserve, with
the rank of Ensign. He is expecting
to be called within the next day or
TWO and Will likely be stationed in
the Norfolk district, which comprises
the waters of the Chesapeake Bay
and the Ocean coast as far as the
Delaware Bay, the duty consisting
principally OF patrol service; as soon
as he is called he will start on three
months training before entering in
10 the active service.
The second gentleman is Mr.. AL
pheus 3. Cochrane, who has entered
the Army Reserve Corps, with the
rank OF Second Lieutenant. Mr..
Cochrane, who is member OF Com
pany c, this city, has already passed
call.
Mr.Levi D. T. Prettyman has Of
fered his services to the Govern
ment in connection with the moor
service, which is one OF the important
branches OF the service, especially in
active war. Many Americans are now
serving in this division OF WORK, and
il is thought quite likely that MT.
Prettyman will be detailed to SER
vice IN the very near future.

The Dixie Ministries, an organiza-
ton composed Of local talent, gave
their show Saturday night at FEEDER
alsburg to large house. The enter
tainment was successful in every re-
spect, those taking part covering
themselves with glory, and many of
the acts receiving encore after en-
core. Mr.. W. Guy Burton, the cleo
trical wizard, whose electrical act is
a sensational one, as well as very
dangerous, took the house by storm,
many persons from the audience
crowding to the stage at the conclu
sion of his act to congratulate him.
The members of the company will
tour the Shore, visiting Salisbury
this week, where they will play at
the Arcade. The singing III the show
is alone worth the price of admis-
sion. as there are very few shows
travelling this section that can equal
the quartet or other musical num-
berS.

applicants must be between the ages
of p and 80 years. must have sound
