NEWBURY
Fire Department Called BY Blaze II
Sanatorium Chimney.

Sanatorium Chimney.
Our fire department was called into
action last Monday morning by the
burning out of the chimney of the
Monticello sanatorium. No serious dam
age was done, as the fire was confined
to the chimney, but it did do one thing
it showed the efficiency OF our fire
department In less than five minutes
from the sounding Of the alarm the
hose carriage was on the spot ana
ready for action. Some OF these men
! who in days of yore opposed lnstalla-
ton of a water system can realize that
it is not such bad thing for a town
after all.

return trip to Albany, n. Y, where she

NJ. C. Knight, our town clerk and
genial widower, was pleasantly re-
minded last Saturday that that day,
Sept. "a, was the anniversary of his
arrival in this vale of tears and sun
shine, and his many lady friends out
did themselves in making it a day to
be long remembered. If It was not for
the town history this genial widower
would pass off as man of 40 years,
but as long as Frederick Wells has him
immortalized we can only say that he
is 40 years young. May he have many
happy returns OF the day is the wish Of
his friends.
Miss Patricia Smith is the possessor
of German police dog of the female
| species. named Baneta, which is very
fond of her, and no doubt in order to
show her appreciation for her young
mistress presented her the other morn
ing with 10 full -blooded German police
puppies, four males and six females,
As these dogs find ready sale when
they attain the age of four months, the
males at SIS and the females at $50,
Baneta is really some dog and dog
worth having.

inquired for some of her acquaintance

enjoying good bealth only 80 years
have brought gray hairs and not quite
as quick a step.
