The triangle in front of the postotfice
il being graded and curbed, and the
foundation for the new drinking foun-
tain has been put in. We understand
that further improvements are contem-
plated Our streets are to be graded,
and street signs viii be put up, and in
other ways our already attractive village
is to be made more attractive. There is
already a demand for more tenements.
Capital seeking investment could find no
better returns than by erecting few
modern homes on the vacant lots, made
so by the fire Of 1913. With snug hotel
and provision made for those who wish
to cast their lot with us, Newbury might
be made the town of Orange county We
have been over the top for every good
cause. We have flung our pocket books
wide open; now, why don't you speak
for yourself, john" Let us do some
thing worth while for our village.

Edwin Frank Bailey. who spends most
Of his time as the guest of his children,
Mrs. Hallet of Lebanon and Edwin Bal
| ley of Littleton, Is in town for few
days, looking hale and hearty in his STth
year. When it comes to deer and fox
hunting, Franks scent is just as good as
when he was at the age of 30, and az far
as his legs are concerned he can beat
any young man as to travel, and that re-
minds me: Someone wanted to know if
| George Sawyer was alive. The one who
made the inquiry was a travelling man,
who remembered Georges crisp home
cured ham, and the way he used to cook
eggs. He was told that George was very
much alive and had lately defed the wolf
OF the coal famine by shaking his fist in
lis teeth, and, grasping his axe, had gone
out into his woodlot and cut II cords Of
wood, How Is that for a man who viii
be 70 next March? You fellows who are
cussing the fuel situation might get con
ISOLATION by calling on George.
| Congratulations TO our committee who
had IN charge our Victory drive, Frank
r. Meserve, +. B. Greer and Warren X.
Bailey, jr. Our apportionment for New
bury street Of $1,000 was raised Satur-
day night Our village went over the top
with colors flying
| The bridge up at Cow meadow which
! Norman G. Baker has constructed out of
cement is not only substantial, but it is

as those roads built at the time Rome
was in all her glory Our selectmen have
the right idea They believe in building
not only for the present, but for the
| future.
