NEWBURY

Andrew Jackson Kelley, the sphinx of
Newbury, informs the scribe that it was
just 43 years ago yesterday that fire
laid low the corner which is now occu-
pied by Hale 4 Son On that fateful
Sunday, Aug. IS, 1876, II. H. Demings
store, Burnham Shepards iewelry shop,
the old Depot building, and McIndoes
book store fell prey to the flames. An
drew says it was hot Sunday after
noon, and he had attend divine service
at the Methodist church and had been
at home just long enough to get outside
of a good dinner when the alarm was
given. He goes further to state that
three years later, Sept. 4, the Spring
hotel met the same fate on this fateful
corner. Would YOU believe it, 40 years
have come and gone since that grand old
hotel, with its big halls and mansard
roofs. with all its legends of past and of
Newbury's greatness as a summer resort,
was laid in ashes But this is the fact
To-day, with such hotel as that which
went down on Sept. 4, 1879, Newbury
would once more be on the map and a
mecca for the summer tourist.

GET BETTER ROADS; YOU
ARE PAYING FOR THEM

You can have any kind of road you
are willing to pay for. The. poorer
they are the more you pay.
The greatest objection to improving
roads is the cost. People say, 1--WE
can not afford to improve our roads
it will cost too much"
Do you realize that bad roads are
costing you actual cash in the loss OF
your own time, in the extra hard haul
ing, and in the extra wear on harness
wagon and horses?
Do you know that where bad roads
have been made good, farm values
have increased enormously?
Do you know that the communities
which have improved their roads are
growing many times faster than con-.
munities which have still their bad
roads?

ference to you between good and bad
roads you can make school life better
