Most of the time for the past year
or more the Monitor has been without
a local news gatherer. No one
realized the shortcomings of our local
news service better than the Monitor
itself, and we have now engaged F..
G. Browning to do local reporting.
If people will cooperate with Mr..
Browning and this Office we shall
hope to make our local service much
better than it has been for some time.
Barton people will be interested in
the following from the Hyde Park
News and Citizen: "Miss Charlotte
G. Pierpont, demonstration agent, has
resigned her position, in order to en-
gage in a life contract. Miss Pier
pont made many friends throughout
Lamoille county in her demonstra-
tion work, in which she was decidedly
proficient and by her genial manner
and correct methods greatly endeared
herself to our people and gave val
liable and profitable instruction.
Best wishes of all go with her.
