NEWBURY.
Friday Morning, April 8, 1921.

observed by the National w. c. I. U
as week of prayer for better SAP
bath observance, call upon the
women not only of that organization
but also of all others who believt
that one day out of the seven shoulo
be set aside for the cultivation OF
things of the spirit rather than fol
the performance of those material
things that occupy the other slx
DAYS of the week.
The collection next Sunday at the
Congregational church is for the

which we have been asked to con-
tribute is $1,000.
Beth Inez arrived last Saturday
morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs
Ralph Lund, bringing in her train
ioy. sunshine, care and anxiety. The
little one received cordial welcome
from grandpa King and grandma
King, who claim that they are good
Judges of babies, and that this partl-
cular baby is the best one they ever
saw.
Mr. and Mrs David Amell have re-
turned from California, and from all
appear ances they are both glad to
breathe Vermont air once more.

up last Monday morning after two
weeks vacation.

parents Mr. and Mrs Sargent.
Quite number of our young people
attended the dance at Haverhill last
Monday evening.
Historian Frederick Wells is in
Concord this week looking up histor-
ical facts.
Miss Bryce, our. community nurse,

Quite a number of our young
sprigs, of 60 years or whereabouts,
went out to Wallace Hill last Friday
night to help William Rollins get
over an anniversary of his birth, and
when they got there found that about
$50 other fellows with their girls
were there too. They were packed
into Wills and Bertha's house like
sardines in box, but that made no
difference, it made them all the
more social, and the way they went
for Jennie's coffee and doughnuts
was a caution, but like the widows
oil of olden time the food held out,
and so did the party, which never
broke up until four o'clock in the
morning. The Town History claims
that Will is about IS years, but that
does not count with him. He is just
as young as he feels, and that night
he was a boy of twenty-five. May he
and his excellent wife have many
more birthday anniversaries is the
wish of all.
The birds have come back, the
frogs are singing and the wild geese

IN and her daughter Miss Margaret
ire expected next week then it fol-
ows as the night follows the day,
hat the Darling home will open up
lext, and thence the homes of Miss
Ross, the Silbys, Mrs T C Keyes and 1
he Haviland home. In speaking of I
he Haviland home reminds us that
1rs Haviland has not remained idle I
his winter, and that her music has I
AIKEN up most of her time and at s
ention. Her talents are appreciated ]
" the music lovers of Portland, and
many fine positions as director and
rganist have been offered her, in q
luding that of the Longfellow
'hurch. These she has refused, as
he lure of good old Newbury and a
er home "Haverford" has a greater 5
TRACTION. The winter has been a t
hid one, and a lively one. We can f
nd no fault with it, but some how
18th the home coming of these
riends whom we have so much miss s.
we can say ''Now ends the winter "
nv discomfort, made glorious Sum-
ler." Yes !! Come back home, there t
welcome awaiting you. N
