MUSIC STUDY CLUB;
MCDOWELL DAY

There was large attendance at
theClub meeting on Friday after
noon last, held with Elizabeth
McColl, and the meeting proved
a very delightful and interesting
one.
Current events by Mrs. Lear
mont was fine collection of re-
cent doings in the muscal world.
The Life of Edward Mcdowell,
an excellent paper by Mrs. Taylor
was listened to attentively and ap-
preciatively. Mcdowell is said to
be easily the most noted of Amer
lean composer-pianists. His death
occurred in 1908, at the early age
of AZ years. For eight years he
was head of the music department
of Columbia University of New
York City, and overwork and
worry here brought on a mental
disorder. He retired to an ideal
spot in the southern part of New
Hampshire, where he had built a
log cabin in the midst of the beau
tiful pines and his dream had
been to found a Colony" here,
where artists, painters, sculptors
and musicians might spend their
days working in solitude and their
evenings in interchange of ideas.
He died before his dream came
true, but his wife is bravely car
rying on his plan, and in a paper
by Mrs. Lacy, she gave sketch
of the biennial Festival at Pet
erborough," the Mcdowell home,
held by the National Federation
of Music in 1919. 1t was an in
spiration never to be forgotten
by those who were there. 1t was
voted by the Federation that help
be given to Mrs. Mcdowell in
furthering her plan and her hus-
bands dream.
The program of the Music Club
was made still more delightful
by the rendition of several of Nc
Dowell's compositions on the
piano by Miss Florence o.
Rourke, of Richmond, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. James O'Rourke,
formerly Yale residents, Mrs. o.
Rourke being remembered as
Lulu High, and whose violin play
ings were always sought after.
Miss Florence is a talented musi-
clan, and the surprise of having
her on the program this day was
happy one.
The meeting closed as usual
with the singing of the National
Anthem.
The Club will meet on Friday,
Nov. 5th, with Mrs. Will Rub.

MORE FRONTAGE FOR
THE COUNTY PARK
The Board of Supervisors Voted
To Buy Three Adjoining
Lots

The Board of Supervisors have
voted to purchase three lots on
the lake shore of Lake Huron ad-
joining the lake front of the new
county park in Burtchville town
ship for $4,000. By acquiring the
three lots the park will have lake
frontage Of IT'S feet. The resolu-
ton to purchase the additional
frontage was offered by Super
visor Ryan.
During the past summer the
county park, which fronts on the
lake, proved to be very popular
spot. There is now $500 in the
fund for improvements to the park
and the resolution was-to the eff
feet that this amount should be
used as down payment on the
purchase price of the additional
lots, the balance to be paid for at
the county's convenience with six
per cent interest.
The proposition met with the
approval of the supervisors and
was adopted. 1t was stated that
lots adjoining the county park
were selling for $40 per foot. The
county secured its additional lake
frontage for its park at about $50
per foot.
The supervisors also appro-
priated $500 to improve the 26
acres of land owned by the county
in Wales township across from
the present county infirmary. The
grounds will be used for picnic
purposes, and sidewalks and other
improvements will be construct
ed with the money.

hunger strike for 73 days.

open verdict at the inquest over

exhaustion from prolonged re-

TELL 1T TO THE EDITOR

Every newspaper editor is de-
sirous of printing all of the le-
gitimate news of his subscription
field. That is the object> of his
paper. But unfortunately an ed
itor is partly human-he at least
is mounded in human form. He
does not possess a dozen pair of
hands, or legs, or eyes, or ears for
the collection of this vast fund of
information. That is why the
editor urges you to tell him what
you know-to keep him Informed
of the doings of yourself and fam
lily, of your friends or Of the COM
munity in general. 1t is the only
way to make a good paper, and a
good paper is one of the prime re-
quisites to a good community in
which to live and do business. Tell
it to the editor. He'll tell others,
if it is tellable.

In the annals of Bennington the Nor

minent place, prominent in military,
social and business affairs, and several
descendants Of the original stock still
live here. The Bennington pottery,
conducted by the Nortons, was, in the
days previous to the Civil war, one of
the principal industries, and its pro
duction had large sale in Vermont
and the neighborlng states. The build
ings, though now vacant, still stand
on Park street near the river. The
father of the deceased conducted a
livery stable on the site where the
Brewster block now stands, at the
corner of North and Pleasant streets,
and he often had go horses in his
stable. He was also interested in a
line of stages between Bennington and

years driver.
