Hale's Store is artistically decorated
bowers of evergreen, these with the wonder
full display Of toys and Christmas knick-
nacks makes the store a sort of Paradise
for the children besides attracts the Older
folks.
1t is needless to say that Mrs. Harold
B. Hale had a hand in the decorations
and any one who sees the store, and knows
Mrs. Hale would readily guess who that
decorator is.
1t is with regret that we lose Kneeland
Green and his sister Miss Buelah, as they
were not only good citizens but were
efficient at the Newbury Central.
We understand, that Kneeland is
working for the telephone company at
Bradford, N. H. while Miss Buelah has a
like position at Groton.
We wish to congratulate Manager John
Gadd in his judicous selection of SO
courteous and efficient lady as Mrs
White who has been installed in our
Newbury central. She is a regular "John-
ME on the spot" and before we can say
1--WE are in Died hurry" we hear pleas
ant voice calling number please" which
knocks the fight all out of us, and we
find that after all we are not so much in a
hurry. We are getting extra service, and
we wish to CONGRATULATE General Manager
John Gadd and the whole shooting match,
Selah.

I here is very interesting article in the
Granite Monthly for December about
"Path, N. IA town that was"
1t was written by KateJ Kimball and
speaks of Path as it was some seventy or
eighty years ago, of the trials and depriva-
tons of its early settlers, of its prominent
men of long ago, its old homesteads, of
Upper Bath, of Rev. DR.. Sutherland of
whom our fathers knew. 1t is an article
worth reading over twice.
You Bathites, get the magazine and
read the article, then get busy and put
the old town on the map once more.
Frank Prescott was in town last week.
Frank has shed his Derby Hat and is
wearing night cap knit by one of his
West Newbury admirers which enhances
his beauty. 1t not only is becoming to
his style of beauty, it keeps his heart
and ears warm. 1t generally takes some
