Our genial master Of the Dorset
Grange is around on eratches on ac-
: count Of running a rusty nail into his
foot We hope Brother West, that il
] will not prove serious and that you
: will soon be as well as usual
Samuel W. Dunton of Bay City
Mich. was in town Sunday calling on
friends. Mr.. Dunton motored over
from Hartford. N. Y, with his sister
and brother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Palmer, with whom he was Wis
ting.
Mrs Arthur Saunders Of Main
street, has very kindly offered the Red
Cross room in her house for their
use during the winter. This offer is
greatly appreciated by the members
and through the Journal they wish to
express their sincere thanks.
Judge G. G. Tenant OF Jersey City,
N. j., has purchased five acres on the
West road from Mr.. de Schweinitz and
we presume will, before another year,
have summer home there. Dorset
residents are very glad to hear Of
this sale as the Judge and his family
made many friends while here last
summer.
Every lady who possibly can should
attend the Red Cross meeting tomor-
row at the vestry Of the church. The
hour is 2:30 p. m. This is the time
for Dorset to show their willingness
to do their bit. Read the Red Cross
appeal in these columns and then
make up your mind to be on hand and
"Do your bit"
Mrs. John Peltier and daughter,
Mrs. Roscoe Wilson, motored to Wat
ervliet, N. Y, Sunday and visited "our
boys Perry Peltier and Roland R.
Harrington. Ernest Marley drove
them in the Marley car. They found
the young men in happy and con-
tented frame of mind and full of en-
thusiasm for their work.
The prompt response Of the young
lady at the switchboard Of the Man
chester telephone exchange in calling
up the Dorset stores and residences
when she was notified Of the Barrows
House fire last Friday evening de-
serves the thanks of the community
as the promptness of the fire fighters
was due in a great measure to her
quick work.
Speaking Of buses: we firmly be-
lieve that bus line from Manchester
Depot to Granville would pay well and
also that good, up-to-date garage
and repair shop in Dorset would pay
a good interest on the investment.
We are surprised that some of our en-
terprising business men of the north
end of Bennington county do not take
these matters under serious considera-
ton
Our Red Cross ladies recently sent
a box to the Boston headquarters con-
tanning IS jackets, II mufflers, pairs
wristlets, and 8 pairs of socks. A line
from Boston acknowledged it's receipt
and said that all the contents were
correct and as required by the regula
tons. Our ladies feel justly proud of
this as so many articles sent from
other places have been returned as not
being correct.
The Missionary Societies have asked
the Manchester ladies to join them at
their next meeting to be held Wednes-
day, October 10th, at the house Of
Mrs. Conover at 3 o'clock Please note
the change of hour from four to three.
A large attendance is especially de-
sired both because of our guests and
because of the program which will be
the reports from the delegates to the
annual meeting held last week at Bel
lows Falls.
Mrs. F. Ward Young Of Kent Hill,

Mrs. II. L. Derby of Passaic, N. j.,

Albert Knowles, who has been in
Dorset for the past four months, left
Saturday for his home in Toledo, O.,

for the future go with him.
