ARLINGTON NcRTH DISTRICT
Farce "How the story Grew" To Be
Given May II.

The North district of Arlington is
getting ready for another evening at
the town hall The women of the
Battenkill club, and some Of the older
schoolgirls have been prepar ng a
play, that rattlingly funny tile farce
known as How the Story Crew.
The take-off on village habits of gos-
sip is so funny that it would make Il
stone image laugh; and yet it Is so
true that you have to think 1t over
very seriously afte' you get home,
and take to yourself some of its homo
thrusts at exaggerations.
In add tion to the play, which is
now being rehearsed to the accom-
paniment of much laughter, invo un-
tary and hearty on the part of the
actors, the girls OF the North District
school will sing a number of the old
English folk-songs and ballads which
are the ghtful inheritance Of all
Anglo-SaXons, the quaint, tuneful,
cheerful songs, which are so mucn
more catchy than jazz, and so much
more restfu to the ear The North
district children are very fond or
these old songs, and their strains are
often heard when the children get to-
gethe:.
Come to the town hall, May II at 8
o'clock, and see f these ! lting old
songs don't stick in your memory,
and s.ng themselves over the next
day. And come prepared to laugh
at the play, and to think that over,
too, after you get home.
The proceeds Of the entertainment
are to go for the improvement Of the
North District school, so you'll be
helping along a good cause

AN OLD VERMONT DIRECTORY
Little Book Has Been Preserved by
John p. McCurn.

John r. McCUrn.
John P. McGurn has n h IS posses
sion a copy OF a Vermont directory
published in 1865 and VIII ch he has
carefully preserved for the reason
that it was published in 1855, the
year of his birth. Judged from pres
ent day standards 1t is a peculiar pub
lication and a comparison shows the
growth and progress that has been
made in Vermont n few more years
than half century,
If the data in the publication is cor
rect the~.o was only one city, Vergen-
nes, in 1855. Burlington and Rutland
were under village government, Yer
mont had four congressman instead
of two and there were only states
in the Union
The directory contains number of
advertisements. In the LIST OF Ben
nington business men there are
names that have come down to the
present day, among them those of
Colvin, Squire, Patch and Surdam
AS an indication of the changes that
have taken place since the little book
was printed it is noticed that there
no is no advertisement by photogra-
pher but c. A, Dart announces that
he is the proprietor of the sky and
sidelight daguerrean rooms on Main
street, a few doors east Of the Frank
lin house
