FELCHERVILLE
Well, l have had my little guest
from New York since last Tuesday.
What a pity it is not for a month
they came to stay instead of two
weeks. They just get nicely settled
when they have to go back before
they can get any good of the trip.
Mr.. Stetson is looking after the
roads again, but he says they are,
badly in need of about four inches of
gravel again. So much heavy traffic
and pleasure riding. Hard with one
team to draw gravel SO far. Why
don't we invest in a good crusher;
plenty stone all along the road?
Think it over, voters. We could save
enough to pay for it with what we
pay in hauling.
Callers at the old plastered house
were Mr.. Neil and wife, Mr.. Rudolph
and wife, Mr.. Wheeler and wife of
Concord, N. H., Herbert Mihill and
wife and son, Miss Fife Jones, Mr..
Morey, Mrs. Ellen Noyes and Miss
Elizabeth, Theodore Whitcomb and
sister, Nadine, Miss Slocum, Mr..
! and Mrs. Decell and sons and the
Page sisters and Mr.. and Mrs. Fogg
of Eden.
! A squad of officers, six in number,
called at Mr. Towards and Mrs.
| Emerson's looking for beer. | Won
der if we have to pay six men, to
ride around when one good man like
Coty of song and verse could have
gone alone. Do you wonder why we
are the sport of the county?
Mr.. Melley and wife of Waitsfield
were callers Sunday at--the Bessey
| home.
Walter Barns was quite sick Sun
day so he had to get neighbor to
help out with the chores.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hooper of Johnson
were callers at the Barnes home one
day the past week.
Hay being plenty, cows are scarce
and the price going up. For good
ones they are paying $50 and $40.
Clinton Styles and son and his
friend from Massachusetts were call
ers at the Grimes home one day the
past week.
Theodore Whitcomb, while unload
ing load of sawdust, cut his hand
on piece of steel roofing quite badly.
1t has been very painful.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Seymour
were callers at his farm Sunday.
Addie Stanley was a caller Satur-
day at the village.
Mr.. and Mrs. Decell and family
were callers in Morrisville last Fri
day.
Albert Heath of the north village
has plastered and patched up the
walls of the schoolhouse and Guy
Newton has papered Now, Mr..
Larock is going to do quite bit of
work and a good cleaning will fix us
up in pretty good shape for the COM
ing years work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Decell and sons and
girls drove to the highest point on
French Hill and while their horses
were resting they enjoyed the fine
views, and mother had taken a din
ner, which all enjoyed. 1t will be
day long remembered. Wish more
of our farmers would take a day off
once in a while like that.
James Jones and wife and son
spent day with his friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Grimes, the past week.
The town fathers have been up
and decided to put up bridge that
would last until they could get help
to build permanent bridge.
Appraisers have been calling and
making everyone happy, of course.
Come again.

Glenn Sweet and wife and daughter, |
Ralph Davis and Miss Margaret |
Sheehan of Johnson recently.
Another week come and gone, rain
ing hard, but good for after-g grass
and crops if not for haying.

seys TO the cattle buyers from. New |
Jersey and shipped them last week.
