NEWRURY


/ Mr. and Mrs. w. d. Perkins gave a trout
dinner and entertained Mr.. and Mrs.
Goss OF Wilder Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson
of Springfield, Mass, and Master Will
liam Goodwin and Miss Leona Mcneil Of
West Newbury. We understand that
Miss MtNeil had two or three helpings
and from information gathered from the
young miss, everything went off in apple
pie order.
Oh yes, we almost forget our contin-
ued story, Frank Meserve went to Wind
sor to serve on the jury Now don't you
wish you had not said, st is just what
| expected, but not so soon?
Last Friday afternoon the chief of pc.
lice was notified that there were some
suspicious characters in town, Secret
service men were Immediately put on
track and came back with the informa-
ton that the tough bunch were only
NJ. G. Knight, Will Rollins and Charles
Greenleaf starting on fishing trip. No
arrests.
II is quite evident that Miss Grace
Bliss of Calais likes Newbury air. And
she does not like Newbury air any bet
ter than the Newburyites like Miss Bliss,
So she is doubly welcome.
The 0xbow chapter, D. A. r., con.
vened in their chambers last Monday
and we learn the new officers are Mrs.
Frank +. Kimbal regent, Mrs Richard
F. Darling vice regent, and Mrs. Frank
r. Brock secretary.
1t was with a general feeling of regret
that Horace C. Bailey's many friends bid
him adieu last Monday morning as he
took his departure for Plattsburg, n. Y,
where he has a responsible position as
representative OF great business con
Germ, Churchill & Dwight company. Mr..
Bailey is theiF representative for the
state Of New York and will ultimately
move his family and locate somewhere
in that state. Churchill & Dwight com
pany have a way of showing their good
Judgment by selecting men from the
good old town of Newbury for respon-
sible positions. Foster l.. Haviand has
been with them for % years and looks
after their interests in the state of
Maine, while Warren W. Bailey, ir., a
brother of Horace c. is now on his l4th
year and has his hands full in looking
after Massachusetts, and part Of New
Hampshire. This house, which comprises
the kings of the soda business, is always
ON the watch for merit and it is quite
evident they know where to find it, and
Newbury, Vt, is the place.
Mrs. d. s. Jones is entertaining her
mother, Mrs. Thompson.
Recently letters have been sent out
telling of plans to form an alumni asso-
citation for Newbury high school. If any
former member of the school has not re-
ceived such a notification and would like
to be present at the first banquet, June
Is, please notify Miss Mary X, Hale
Newbury, as soon az possible. There
are many of the boys and girls scattered
all over our broad land who have fond
recollections of their school DAYS spent
in Newbury who will gladly respond to
the call for a strong association and win
lend a willing hand for its support. So
rally around the flag, boys and girls, and
don't forget your school days in New
bury. Be on hand and snake hands with
old classmates on June Is, and make
that day a red letter day.
Miss Martha Knight is in town
Decoration day would hardly seem like
Decoration day if George Leslie had not
made his appearance. He came same as
usual and may his shadow never grow
less, is the wish Of the old ones,
Freeman Cilley, one of Barre's worthy
citizens and Newbury's most welcome
guest, is reticent man, good council
lor and man of few words. Conse-
quently the public would have never
known the reason why his automobile
baked at lonely spot on Moore's noun
tain, giving the occupants of the car an
opportunity to commune with nature
and enjoy the antics of the playful mos.
quito if it had not been for his wife, a
woman somewhat gifted in the use of
language which flowed in harmony with
the flow of gasoline going into the empty
tank. In her conversation she used SEN
fences which are familiar to all married
men, ''If he had done what / told him
this would never happened" "Just as
expected" 81 told you so" Next time
when tell you to look and see if you
have any gas, Look' There was a
twinkle in Freeman's eye which seemed
to indicate that the good wife was right
this time, and further conversation was
lost in the merry hum of the motor
which speeded the well -mated couple on
their way. This is the story which the
gasoline pump told us.
One of our citizens who goes down
every Monday morning on the stock
train was in Boston the other day and
noticing a $40 lid" in one of the store
windows soon became its proprietor. En-
tering nearby restaurant he placed
his new purchase on the hat tree, which
a stranger, who was a good Judge of
hats. noticed and who promptly ex-
