/ Friends in Barre of the old Northern

viii be interested in following the career
of the veteran player as manager of the
Philadelphia team in the National
league. Coombs, while still college
boy from Maine, made considerable

bazaar of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs.
More elaborate preparations have been
made for this event than for any similar
occasion for many years, and it promises
to prove a genuine surprise and delight

Barre hill are getting back into their
before.th war stride is indicated by the
fact that on one Of the quarries, Bout
well, Milne & Varnums, the operating
| force which in December had been re-
duced TO mere skeleton OF its former
selfonly ia men employed been
gradually increased so that it now num-
bers 285 men. The returning workmen
come back from the service of the gov
eminent, from the munitions factories
