NEWBURY.
Friday Morning, Oct. 20, 1922.

is good news from a Tar country
These words were brought to the
writer's mind on receipt of letter
from California inquiring If the New
bury correspondent was dead or had
Newbury been wiped off the map en-
tirely For the information of those
friends who represent Newbury in
every state of the Union l will state
that Newbury is very much alive.
Her broad and fertile meadows have
Welded their encrease, the farmers
barns are full and there is an ap-
pearance of prosperity everywhere
in evidence. Coal strikes, railroad
strikes and all other strikes do not
seem to bother staid Old Newbury
very much. There is wood on our
hills There are turnips and potatoes
in our bins. There is contentment
on our faces, and in the words of the
late Horace w Bailey we can re-
ioice when we say that "this is New
bury, and thank God Newbury IS my
home" The items as they have ap-
peared from time to time in the
Newbury column may seem HAT and
silly, but to the homesick man or
woman in a far country they are per-
haps to their souls "as cold waters
to a thirsty SOUL" Who knows ? So
gentle Newbury reader if you don't
like the items as they appear from
time to time, save your criticisms.
Stick your paper under the bed with
YOUR Bible, chewing gum and tobac-
CO, and then try and improve the
tone of the column by writing
some items yourself. Do it every
week faithfully, furnish your own
postage and paper and take your pay
in kicks You will find it fat job
which we will cheerfully relinguish
to anv volunteer who will take up
the work.
Lang FELTON,, nephew of Miss FL
len M Lang, has returned to Cali
fornia where he enters college. He
is studying for and intends to take up
the practice of that of physician.
John Weed, who has been confined
to his bed for the past five or six
weeks, is out and about his work.
John intends to have his hair cut
and whiskers trimmed if it takes the
price of the best hens in his door
ward. The season is now so late we
would suggest that he go not to that
expense, instead tuck his whiskers
inside his shirt collar and his hair
down back side and it would save
him the expense of an undershirt.
Miss Alice Dodge is at the U. v.
M. at Burlington.
Deacon Sidney johnson, who was
very much in evidence during Wilson's
administration, telling us where the
brains of the nation were located and
what we would do if we, the Repub-
licans were in power, of late is very
reticent.
Haines johnson was honorably
mentioned in the Barre Times as hav-
ing one of the best fields of corn on
the Connecticut river. Haines is not
stuck UP one bit, but his wife, why
you can't touch her with a ten foot
pole.
Mr. and Mrs William Taisey have
closed their summer residence.
Mrs Richard Darling, the human
DYNAMO which makes the wheels go
round in the Darling home, is gain
ing a national reputation as dealer
in ANTIQUES. The ether day, the man
who makes these tin gasoline wagons
and who lives out in Detroit, drove
into her yard, and was a liberal
purchaser. He gave his check for
what he bought and as far as heard
the check proved good
